Nice's central library building is considered one of the most original in the world, as it is a mix between a sculpture and a work of habitable architecture. It was called La TΓͺte CarrΓ©e and is made up of part of a bust that supports a cube divided into five floors. It is known that the building has a total height of approximately 30 meters. It admits that the cubic part of the sculpture is parallel to the floor and has a volume of 2744 meters3 Calculate, in meters, the height of the bust that supports the cube. Displays all the calculations you made.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
