Using Thornthwaite Formula. Note: Use 4 decimal places for the value of "a" an La in
the computation only and three (3) decimal places for the answer (Example if L,=
1.7675, just type 1.768; if a = 5.6785, just type 5.678). Compute the value of La for
the month of February in 3 decimal places.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F82451ee3-f813-4c09-95d0-aa7889822cb7%2F9bf80498-1114-4827-9176-2b787ef007c0%2Fv8z6puq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
