Temperature–humidity Heat Index.
In summer, higher humidity interacts with the outdoor temperature, making a person feel hotter because of reduced heat loss from the skin. The temperature-humidity index,
where T is the air temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, and H is the relative humidity, expressed as a decimal. Find the temperature-humidity index in each case. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet.
