This document discusses different types of thermometers and units of temperature measurement. A body thermometer measures body temperature while a weather thermometer measures environmental temperature. It defines temperature and explains that a thermometer is used to measure it. The two main units are degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit, and it provides the scales for each including freezing and boiling points. Formulas are given to convert between the two units and examples provided.

different instrument being shown? Measures of Temperature Temperature •Refers to the degree of hotness or coldness. •Thermometer is the instruments used in measuring temperature. Units of Temperature DEGREE CELSIUS DEGREE FAHRENHEIT (metric unit) (english unit) named after named after Anders Celsius Gabriel Fahrenheit denoted by °C denoted by °F freezing point is 0 °C freezing point is 32 °F boiling point is boiling point is 100 °C 212 °F To convert °C to °F or °F to °C use this formula.
°C = (°F - 32) °F = ( °C) +32
Example. Convert. 1. 104°F to °C 2. 55°F to °C °C = (°F - 32) = (104 - 32) = (72) = 5 (8) = 40 °C Convert. 3. 35°C to °F 4. 26°C to °F °F = ( °C) +32 = (35) +32 = 9 (7) + 32 = 63 +32 = 95°F Practice! Convert the ff: 1. 20°C to °F 2. 65°F to °C 3. 212°F to °C Answer the following. 1-5. 75°C to °F
6-10. 132°F to °C
11-15. The body temperature of Cheska is
40°C. She was admitted to the hospital. What is her body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? 16. It refers to the degree of hotness or coldness.
