A plane is descending into an airport. When its altitude is 5 miles, it is 275 miles from the airport. When its altitude is 4 mile, it is 200 miles from the airport. At 3 miles, it is 125 miles from the airport. If the pilot follows the same pattern, what will the plane's altitude be at 50 miles from the airport? For the plane to land at the airport, the altitude will need to be 0. and the distance from the airport will need to be 0. Should the pilot continue this pattern? Why or why not?

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
