Why is a trip from Tokyo to Los Angeles a longer distance than it appears to
be on a map

Because the route taken by them was the Great Circle Route.

Explanation:

The Great Circle Route is an imaginary line believe to follow Earth's curve and provide the shortest distance between Tokyo to Los Angeles. This Great Circle Route is also known as a Geodesic. A straight line in a 2-dimensional map is different from a straight line on a 3-dimensional globe. This is the reason why the pilot takes an Arc route. Moreover, it is due to the map projection that makes the passengers confuse about the route but the Great Circle Route is the shortest route between the two locations

i think the answer is d. good luck.

creation of israel, 1948. on may 14, 1948, david ben-gurion, the head of the jewish agency, proclaimed the establishment of the state of israel. u.s. president harry s. truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

this is what i find out on the internet but since u r in college you should be able to do a 500 word essay. its real easy all you got to do is look up history on israel and then what ever you find make sure to add the footnote - like who wrote it and where. or you can kind of make it like a story.

p.s. nobody is going to write a 500 word essay just for 50 points and a "brainliest answer"

good luck
