A meteorologist is monitoring the atmospheric pressure at various cities whose height above sea level varies. The meteorologist

determines that the atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer the city is above sea level. It has been determined that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 103 kPa (kilopascals).
Determine the atmospheric pressure in the following cities.

A city located 4.6 km above sea level

If the pressure decreases 12% per kilometer of elevation,
then this would be the equation:

      Pressure = (pressure at sea level) · (0.88)^power of (elevation in km) .

If the sea level pressure is 103 kPa and
the city is 4.6 km above sea level, then

      Pressure = (103 kPa) · (0.88)⁴.⁶          (the exponent is " 4.6 ")

                    =  (103 kPa) · (0.5554)

                    =   57 kPa        (rounded) 
__________________________________________

4.6 km is a very high elevation for people to live at.  One reason is just
what we found up above ... the low air pressure makes it tough to get
enough oxygen into your lungs to be able to DO anything.  You would
just have to lay around all day trying to breathe !

I did some searching online looking for major cities at 4.6 km elevation,
and I didn't find any.

4.6 km is almost 3 times as high above sea level as Denver, Colorado is.

15 - 1/2 x 2 equals 14, but i dont know the steps
zloy xaker [14]
Remember PEMDAS - parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract

because multiply come before subtract, your first step would be 1/2 x 2 = 1

next, you subtract -> 15 - 1 = 14

14 is your answer

You hike 190 meters up a steep hill that has a 33∘ angle of elevation as shown in the diagram.
erik [133]

Answer:

b = 159 m

a = 103 m

angle B is 57 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start with getting the measure of angle B

Mathematically, since we have a right triangle , we have to subtract the given angle from 90 to get the other acute angle

So we have the measure of B as;

90-33 = 57 degrees

To get the value of a, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

a faces the angle 33, that makes it an opposite to that angle

190 faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

Mathematically , the relationship between the two is that trigonometrically, they are related by the sine which is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

so, we have it that;

sine 33 = a/190

a = 190 * sine 33

a = 103 m

to get b, it is adjacent to the given angle

So with the hypotenuse, the ratio between it and the hypotenuse is the cosine

so;

cos 33 = b/190

b = 190 * cos 33

b = 159 m
