Question

the graph in the aw - plane gives aidens approximate weight, w, in pounds at an altitude of a miles above the surface of mars. approximately how many pounds would aiden weigh on the surface of mars?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the altitude on - surface value

The altitude on the surface of Mars corresponds to $a = 0$ miles.

Step2: Find the weight value at $a = 0$

Looking at the graph, when $a = 0$ (the surface of Mars), we find the corresponding $w$ - value on the vertical axis. By observing the graph, when $a=0$, the weight $w$ is approximately 35 pounds.

Answer:

35
