Why were griots important to West African societies? They were the only ones who knew how to make kente cloth, which was worn by

African rulers. They were responsible for basket weaving and religious sculptures that we can still see today. They were responsible for memorizing and passing on oral histories and important stories. They were members of the royal family, and their rule was passed to the next generation.

Why did King George Il allow James Oglethorpe to establish the colony of Georgia?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

In 1729 James Oglethorpe's life was to change. The previous year, one of his friends, Robert Castell, was jailed in London's Fleet Prison because of his debts. At the time, inmates were forced to pay prison staff fees for decent room and board. Unable to pay, Castell was thrown into a cell with a prisoner who had smallpox. Castell's death from the disease led Oglethorpe to launch a national campaign to reform England's prisons. Named chairman of a parliamentary committee to investigate the jails, Oglethorpe saw firsthand the horrible conditions, abuses, and extortion prisoners faced. He also was alarmed that so many British citizens faced jail for no other reason than indebtedness.

As a result of the investigation a number of steps were taken to reform London's prisons. Oglethorpe's efforts to expose and correct prison abuses gained him national attention, and he became widely regarded as one of Britain's most active humanitarians. Prison reform did not, however, solve the plight of the large number of poor people in England. Oglethorpe and several colleagues from the jails committee, notably John Lord Viscount Percival (later the first earl of Egmont), began exploring the possibility of creating a new colony in America. They believed that if given a chance, England's "worthy poor" could be transformed into farmers, merchants, and artisans. But strict rules would be needed to prevent the class divisions that plagued English society. Thus, all the settlers would work their own land, with slavery and large landholdings specifically prohibited.

Someone help plzzz!!! <br> I have to show all my work

Since it's a rhombus that's divided into 2 triangles you can focus on the tingle that has the 6x , on the corner you will see that the right angle is cut in half making it 45 because half of 90 is 45.

now since a triangle is equal to 180 write the equation 180= 6x + 3x/2 + 45.

than do 180-45 to get 135

rewrite the question to be 135= 6x+3x/2

now add the 6x + 3x/2 to simplify it the answer would be 15x/2

now rewrite the equation to be 135=15x/2

to make it simple multiply it by 2 to.... this helps to get rid of the remainder

the equation should be 270= 15x

now simply do 270÷15 to get x=18

now that you found x do 18× 6 to get 108

and because 6x is congruent to y that means y is equal to 108 there for y is 108.



(teachers like if you do this tedious check work)

if you want to check the answer this plug in x for the right side of the rhombus.

as we know one angle is 45 and the other is 108

108+ 45 which equals 153

than do 3(18) to get 54

now divide 54 by 2 to get 27

than do 27 + 153 to get 180.... that's how you know it's right.
