Question

Are the heights of mountains in the state of Alaska are an example of a variable?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Here's a hint: variables are not definite, whereas CONSTANTS are. Example: pi is a constant. Pi is always 3.14.........

Answer 3

And no, Adrian is wrong. The heights are static and therefore constants, not variables.

Answer 4

hmmmmmm

Answer 5

Unless you're going to account for the raises and falls of a mountains height due to seismic movement, a mountain's height is constant.

Answer 6

"the heights of mountains in the state of Alaska"
so, the height is a variable

Answer 7

The statement is referring specifically to the height of the Alaskan mountains. That height doesn't change.

Answer 8

there are many mountains in Alaska.

Answer 9

Then we'll assign each mountain a different constant.

Answer 10

the heights of all the mountains in Alaska are not the same. so, it's a variable.

Answer 11

Look... if you're referring to a specific mountain's height, you'll assign to it a constant. This question isn't as clearly as it should be.
