In south carolina, the interstates of i-20, i-26 and i-95 approximately form a triangle. a warehouse is to be built that is equidistant from each of the three highways. which construction on the triangle will identify the location for the warehouse ? a) medians b) altitudes c) angle bisectors d) perpendicular bisectors

Solution:

Given Statement About South Carolina:

                            The interstates of I-20, I-26 and I-95 approximately form a triangle.

To Find: A warehouse which  is to be built such that it is equidistant from each of the three highways.

Solution: As we know the point which is equidistant from three vertices is called Circumcenter i.e Circle passing through three vertices of Triangle.The Circumcenter can be found by the point of intersection of Perpendicular Bisectors of triangle.

Option  (D) perpendicular bisectors Satisfies the above Criteria.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
