Which of the following best describes the Gulf of Tonkin incident?
A
Many US ships were torpedoed.
B
A Vietnamese ship was destroyed.
C
President Johnson did not react to it.
D
It was a surprise attack on the US troops.

The Correct Answer is A

Many US ships were torpedoed.

Explanation:

In August 1964, Three Vietnamese gunboats approach the USS Maddox and they fired torpedoes at USS Maddox without warning without even unprovoked.

After few days again the same attack is reported, where an unknown number of Vietnamese gunboats attacked, but two ships were sunk by the USS Maddox.

In response to the gulf of Ton-kin incident, the United States issues the Gulf of Ton-kin resolution enabling the US involvement in Vietnam to include sending troops into the South without an official declaration of war against the North.

the answer is b. hope this !

angle a = 40.6°

step-by-step explanation:

for any right angle triangle we know the pythagoras theorem reveals

hypotenuse² = height²+base²

by this formula we will calculate the length of hypotenuse

h² = 6²+7²

⇒ h =√36+49 = √85 = 9.22

now from the given triangle sin a = height/ hypotenuse

                                                sin a = 6/9.22 = 0.651

therefore

so angle a = 40.6°
