Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A kite is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) with two pairs of congruent adjacent sides.

From the image we can see that one pair of congruent side has be formed with a length of 30 feet. Therefore the amount of rope that has been used is 60 feet and 40 feet (100 - 60) of rope would be remaining to complete the kite. Hence 40 feet of rope would be used to make the other pair of adjacent side.

This means that the remaining pair of adjacent side would be 20 feet each so that all the roe would be used.

Weathering is the best short term effect of water erosion. This causes the rocks to break down because of the water filling inside the cracks on the rocks. This might be reduced through using damps or conserving water. Too much of water spillage will cause water erosion. It is important for people to know how to conserve water in order to be safe from the long term effect of water erosion.

Ket [755]

The statement is - a. True.

Throughout the human history, before the modern age, people were not able to pass great distances or pass certain natural obstacles. This meant that different groups of people that were separated by some big natural barrier where not able to communicate between each other, or the communication was very rare and limited. That resulted in the formation of different cultures, unique, evolved totally independently from one another. There's multiple examples of this, like the Arabian culture which was isolated because of the vast deserts, the Aboriginal culture in Australia which was isolated because of the large water bodies, the Eskimos in North America that were isolated because of the harsh Arctic conditions etc.
