The troposphere extends from the earth’s surface to a height of 6-12 miles depending on the location and the season. if a plane is flying at an altitude of 5.8 miles and the troposphere is 8.6 miles deep in that area how much higher can the plane go without leaving the troposphere

The plane can go 2.8 miles higher without leaving troposphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere extends from the earth's surface to a height of 6 - 12 miles which varies on different locations.

If a plane is flying at an altitude of 5.8 miles.

The altitude of the troposphere is 8.6 miles deep from that location.

Therefore, the plane can go more up without leaving the troposphere = 8.6 - 5.8 = 2.8 miles

i'm not really sure how to answer that

step-by-step explanation:

i think its 7.6

if so your welcome
