Here is my grandson walking on a steel bridge on a cool February day. The temperature that day
was 5 °C. I measured the length of one of the long steel girders to be 51 ft. What will be the
change in length (m) of one girder on a hot August day when the temperature reaches 29C?
(1 m 3.281 ft), (1km = 1000m) (5280 ft = 1 mile) (1 mile = 1.609 km)
