Please help me solve problems 1-2.

Isoplething-the Analysis of Numerical Fields When looking at a weather map on which temperatures are plotted, it becomes useful to be able to pick out certain temperature patterns easily. That is, which are the warm areas, which are the cold areas, etc. Also, temperatures cannot be known at every point on the map; that is, at every 50 or even 100 or 200 miles, simply because the cost would be enormous. In this case, the concept of isoplething or the analysis of temperature fields becomes useful. For example, say you know the temperatures (°F) at points A, B, C and D below. What would be a reasonable guess of the temperature at E? 55 · 56 'B 59 °C 58 'D If you were driving your car from A to D, you would experience temperatures of 55°, 56°, 57°, and then 58°. Could you say that the temperature at E is 57°? Is this consistent if you drove from B to C? Here your thermometer would register temperatures of 56°, 57°, 58°, then 59°. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the temperature at E is 57°. Problem 1-2 Make a reasonable guess at the temperature (°F) for the points not given. 62. 72. 75. 77. 63. 66. 78. 80. 82. 65. 2
