<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.

16. Find the value of y. ​
devlian [24]

y + (2x -12) = 180 (since they are supplementary angles)

(2x-12) = 96 ( since they are alternate exterior angle)

2x = 96 + 12

2x = 108

x = 108/2

x = 54.

y+( 2x-12)=180

y+(2× 54 -12) = 180

y + (108-12) = 180

y + 96 = 180

y= 180-96

y = 84.

What is the area of a circle?
Andru [333]

The area of a circle is the size of the 2-dimensional space inside the circle's
closed curved boundary.

The area can be calculated in terms of known linear measurements of the circle:

-- Area  =  (π) x (radius)²

-- Area  =  (π/4) x (diameter)²

-- Area  =  (1/2) x (circumference) x (radius)

-- Area  =  (1/4) x (circumference) x (diameter)

Any of these formulas will give you the area.  The one you decide to use
just depends on what you already know about the circle.
