Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal.

The two geographic obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal was that Panama was very mountainous, and there were a lot of mud slides. One political obstacle was that Panama was part of Colombia. The united states had to negotiate with Colombia before Panama became independent. Engineers had to build a dam, design and build locks, and remove huge amounts of earth and rock in order to overcome the geographical obstacles.

I hope it helps, Regards.

I'm pretty sure there's a geometry rule for   anyways, if the triangle is equilateral, and the circle is circumscribed, the circle is outside of the triangle.  to find the area, you need the radius.  the radius should be a straight line from the center of the triangle to any of it's points.  draw lines from the center of the circle to each of the triangle points.  draw three more lines from the center to the middle of the sides of the triangle.  you should now have six separate 30-60-90 triangles inside of your original triangle. use your 30-60-90 rules to solve for the radius, then the circumference. 

The answer for your problem would be a. 7
