Kamila [148]2 years ago

Answer:

Because the gravity of the Earth is pulling on air molecules and pressing it against the ground, our atmosphere is thinner and thinner the higher up you go.

Explanation:

Earth is a planet that has an active core, thus it has a reasonably strong gravitational pull. Gravity manages to keep all things on the surface of our planet and the ones that are in the atmosphere to pull them down or keep them near. This affects the atmosphere as well.

The atmosphere is composed of gases, all of which are made out of atoms and molecules. They are very light, so Earth is pulling them towards it. This has resulted in a situation where the majority of the gases are close to the surface, in the lowest parts of the atmosphere, and as we go up there is less and less of them, so the atmosphere is thinner and thinner as the elevation increases.

<span>first thing you need to do is find the area of the circle A=(pi)r^2 You don't know r, but you do know the diameter is 10, and the diameter is twice the radius so r=5 Then plug that into the area formula, and you'll get A=25pi or 78.54 ft^2 If one bag covers 2 ft^2, then divide your area by 2 and round up to get the number of bags of concrete (40)
