Question

Calculs from the north you walk 1 mile and a temperature was 5 degrees from the west you walk 1 mile and the temperature change is 4 degrees what is the temperature 1 mile to the south east.

Answer 1

Answer: 6.4 degrees

Explanation:

a= 5 degrees temperature difference to the north gives the opposite of the triangle,

b = 4 degrees temperature difference to the west gives the adjacent,

c = temperature difference of 1 mile to the south east gives the hypotenuse.

Therefore,

Using Pythagoras equation,

c² = b² + a²

c = sqrt( 5² + 4²)

c = sqrt(41) = 6.4 degrees

Therefore, there will be 6.4 degrees temperature difference 1 mile to the south east
