Most of the united states is situated in which zone of prevailing surface winds

Most of the territory of the United States is situated in the zone of the westerly prevailing surface winds. These winds are found in the latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees, both north and south of the Equator. In the northern hemisphere they are associated with the temperate climate region.

ANSWER:

Most of the US is located in the 'Westerlies zone' of prevailing winds.

EXPLANATION:

The prevailing winds or trade winds are the winds on the 'surface of the earth' that blow from a particular direction. Westerlies are the trade winds that blow from the 'west direction'. These winds are more dominant in the mid-latitudes and blow from 'west to east'. The westerlies also lead to the 'development of strong ocean currents' in the northern as well as southern hemisphere.

In a right-angled triangle: 1- the hypotenuse is the longest side2- we can apply pythagorean rule which states that: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2for the given triangle,longest side is 15 cm  side1 = 9 cmside2 is 12 cm  to check whether the triangle is right-angled or not,compare (15)^2 to the summation of (9)^2 and (12)^in other words, compare 225 to the summation of 81 and 144if they are both equal, then the triangle is right-angles, otherwise, it is not.you haven't provided the diagram showing her work, so i cannot tell the choice. however, apply my explanation to the question you have.
