The atmospheric pressure P on a balloon or in aircraft decreases with increasing height . This pressure measured in Millimeters

of mercury , is related to the height H (in kilometers) above sea level by the formula p=760e ^ -0.145h. See photo for formula and answer following questions.
A.) find the height of an aircraft if the atmospheric pressure is 344 millimeters of Mercury. (Round to two decimal places)
B.) find the height of a mountain if the atmospheric pressure is 622 millimeters of mercury.

Answer:

(A)   5.47 km

(B)   1.38 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between Pressure (mmHg) and Height (km) is given by the equation below:

p =760 e⁻ 0.145h----------------------------------------------------- (1)

(a) The height of the aircraft can be calculated by making 'h' the subject of equation (1)

In (p/760) = -0.145 h

h = -In (p/760) /0.145

h= In (760/p)/ 0.145------------------------------------------------- (2)

For the aircraft, p =344 mmHg; substituting into (2)

h = In (760/344)/0.145

   = 0.7926/0.145

   = 5.4662 km

   ≈ 5.47 km

(b) p= 622 mmHg at the mountain top. Substituting into equation  (2) we have:

h = In (760/622)/0.145

  = 0.2003 / 0.145

  =  1.3813 km

  ≈  1.38 km

Answer:

m<1 = 51

m<2 = 61

m<3 = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

three angles of a triangle = 180

so knowing that add 68 + 61 to get 129

now subtract cause the last angle will = 180-129 = 51

for angle two is 61 cause their congruent

now we have one angle = 90 and another 61

add them 90+61= 151

now subtract 180-151 = 29

What is the volume of the prism?
jeka57 [31]
The volume prism refers to the number of cubic units that will exactly fill the figure. The volume of a rectangular prism can be found or calculate by using the formula V=Bh, where B represents to the area of the base or in other words the length and width of the rectangle.

In this exercise is given that the measurements of a prism are 5/2ft, 3/2ft, and 7/2ft; and it is asked to find its volume. In order to find the volume of the prism, you should substitute the given values into the previous mention formula.

V=Bh
V=(5/2 ft)(7/2 ft)(3/2 ft)
V=(35/4 ft²)(3/2 ft)
V=105/8ft³  or 13 \frac{1}{8}ft³

The volume of the rectangular prism is 13 \frac{1}{8}ft³.
