Liliana noted that the temperature was 45 degrees when she woke up. at noon she started recording the increase in degrees from the morning temperature.

which statement most reasonably explains the hours after the peak increase in temperature?
the temperature always rises after a peak.
the temperature increase went down because the thermometer’s battery was losing power.
the temperature increase went down because it became cooler as the sun went down for the night.
the temperature rose after the peak when the sun came out from behind a cloud bank.

The temperature increase went down because it became cooler as the sun went down for the night.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropriate answer will be,

The temperature increase went down because it became cooler as the sun went down for the night.

We know that it is the hottest of the day at the noon  and  thereafter the temperature decreases steadily becoming  the coolest  at night. Thereafter, the temperature starts to  increase at  the morning becoming again hottest of the day at noon.

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
