Two Models for Measuring the Effects of High Temperature and Humidity

question 174

Multiple Choice

Two models for measuring the effects of high temperature and humidity are the Summer Simmer Index and the Apparent Temperature. For an outside temperature of , these indices relate the relative humidity, H (expressed as a decimal) , to the perceived temperature as follows.​ ​
Summer Simmer: Apparent Temperature: ​
For each index, find the point that corresponds to a relative humidity of 45%. Round your answer to two decimal places.
​

• A) ​S = 116.84 A = 110.61
• B) ​​S = 115.92 A = 109.79
• C) ​​​S = 115.01 A = 108.96
• D) ​​​S = 120.50 A = 113.92
• E) ​​​S = 121.07 A = 132.50
