Answer:
Over 475.5 years
Explanation:
Height above sea level = 1.83 m
Steady sea rise = 4 mm/ year
= 0.004 m /year
Let the number of years required for the sea to rise to the height be represented by n.
Thus,
0.004 m/year x n = 1.83 m
n = [tex]\frac{1.83 m}{0.004 m/year}[/tex]
= 475.5
n = 475.5 years
This implies that, it would take 475.5 years for the sea to rise to that height above sea level. Thus for the city to be flooded, it would take over 475.5 years of steady sea-level rise.
