Determine the height of the mountain if it is known that at the foot +18 and at the top -33 what is the name of this peak.

1) It is known that with an ascent for each kilometer, the air temperature drops by 6 ° C.

2) Find the decrease in temperature when climbing to the top.

18 ° C – (-33 ° C) = 51 ° C.

3) Find the height of the mountain. To do this, divide the temperature drop by 6 ° C.

51 ° С / 6 ° С = 8.5 km = 8,500 m.

The height of the desired mountain is close to the height of the highest point in the world – Mount Everest.

Answer: 8 500 m.
