The distance between the fixed points of a centigrade thermometer is 20cm. What is the temperature when the mercury level is 4.5cm above the lower mark?
22.5oC
29.0oC
90.0oC
100.0oC
説明
20cm .... 100oC
4.5cm .... \(\theta\)
0cm ....0oC
\(\frac{4.5 - 0}{20 - 0}\) = \(\frac{0 - 0}{100 - 0}\)
\(\theta\) = 22.5oC
4.5cm .... \(\theta\)
0cm ....0oC
\(\frac{4.5 - 0}{20 - 0}\) = \(\frac{0 - 0}{100 - 0}\)
\(\theta\) = 22.5oC
