To compare the heights of the two mountains, we need to convert Nanga Parbat's height from feet to meters. We know that 1 foot is approximately 0.3048 meters, so we can use that conversion factor:
26,660 feet x 0.3048 meters/foot = 8,126.8 meters (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Now we can compare the heights of Cho Oyu and Nanga Parbat:
Cho Oyu: 8188 meters
Nanga Parbat: 8126 meters
Nanga Parbat is the taller mountain by 8126 - 8188 = 38 meters (rounded to the nearest meter).
The approximate heights of two of the world's tallest mountains are given. Determine which is the taller mountain and by how many meters. Round to the nearest meter.
Cho Oyu: 8188meters and Nanga Parbat: 26,660feet
