Question

1. Mt Everest is at a height of 8850 m. I ts base in an elevation
of 5400 m. The temperature here drops at the rate of 1 degree per
100 meters. If the temperature at the base in 5°C. What is the
Temperature at the top?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature drop from 5400m = 1 degree per 100m

height of top = 8850 m

temperature at base = -5 degree

height of top from base = 8850 - 5400 = 3450m

total drop in temperature = 3450/100 = 34.5 degree

so temperature at top = -5 - 34.5 = -39.5 degree celsius

Answer 2

☆ Answer ☆

$\sf \green{ -39.5°C}$

☆ Solution ☆

$\rightarrow$ Height of My. Everest from its base = 8850-5400

3450 m

$\rightarrow$ Drop in temperature = 3450/ 100 = 34.5

$\rightarrow$ Temperature at the top = -5°C - (34.5) °C

= -39.5°C
