Question

You are presently taking a weather observation. The sky is full of wispy cirrus clouds estimated to be about 10 km overhead. If a warm front is approaching from the south, about how far is it (assuming a slope of 1:200)? Enter only the numeric value of the distance.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200   ⇒     x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒     x = 2000 Km
