<h3>Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

x = elevation in feet

y = temperature in fahrenheit

The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.

The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.

We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60

Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation

y = 0.001x+60

y = 0.001*2000+60

y = 2+60

y = 62

Answer:

B.62

Step-by-step explanation:

60 + (2000/100)            We find 20 is the answer to the division

60 + (20 * 1/10)           We find 2 is the answer to the multiplication

60 + (2)  

We can then + for elevation or - or depression or decrease.

= 62

= 62 degrees.

Two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm. Whi[:h could be the length of the third side?
lutik1710 [3]

18 cm is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.

It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.

Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,

<em>Third side < 8 + 15</em>

<em>Third side < 23</em>

<em>It means 3rd side must be less than 23</em>

<em>Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.</em>

<em>15 < Third side + 8</em>

15 - 8 < Third side

7 < Third side

It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.

Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.
