Zane Goodwin · Answer 1

It dropped from 29 to - 7

So going from 29 to 0, is a total of a 29 degree change.

And then going from 0 to - 7 is a total of a 7 degree change.

Thus the total change in temperature is 29 + 7 = 36.

Angel Wells · Answer 2

Change in temp is just the maginitude of the difference between the two temperatues

|delta T|

=|T2-T1| OR |T1-T2| (same answer)

=|-7-21|

=28

The temperature was 29*F. By the end of the day, the temperature dropped TO - 7*F. what was the total distance in the temperature change?
