Answer:

its 450 k

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the temperature of the gaseous planet is linearly related with height of the atmosphere. we can write this in the mathematical equation:

y = m x +c

where y is the temperature values, x is height, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. we have been given two sets of value in the image, using which we can find the value of slope in y-intercept.

at x = 18.40 km, y = 147.54 K

⇒147.54 = 18.40 m + c      

⇒c = 147.54 - 18.40 m  ..(1)

at x =78.11 km, y = 567.00 K

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + c       ..(2)

Put equation 1 in 2 and solve:

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + 147.54 - 18.40 m

⇒419.46 = 59.71 m

⇒ m =419.46 ÷59.71 = 7.025 K/km

c = 147.54 - 18.40 × 7.025 = 18.28 K

At height, x = 61.5 km the approximate temperature is :

y = 7.025 K/km ×  61.5 km + 18.28 K = 450.3 K

Thus, the approximate temperature at altitude 61.5 km is 450 K.

Find the measure of a positive angle and a negative angle that are coterminal with 100° sketch of three angles labeling clearly
docker41 [41]

Coterminal angles are different angles that have the same terminal side.

A positive angle has one turn more around so it has a measure of 100°+360° = 460°.

A negative angle will have a measure that is represented in clockwise rotation and be equal to 100° - 360° = -260°.

We can sketch an angle of measure 100°, a positive coterminal angle and a negative coterminal angle as:
