The formula given is:
F = 1.8C + 32
The temperature C is given as -20
So, all you have to do is plug the given C temperature in the formula to get the corresponding F temperature as follows:
F = 1.8(-20) + 32 = -36 + 32 = -4 degrees Fahrenheit
You are gonna use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 because the cities make a right triangle and you are trying to find the hypotenuse (c). C^2 ends up being 517 and the square root, your answer, is 22.7 miles
Yes, they're equivalent values.
