1 Degree Celsius to Fahrenheit
What is Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Before we dive into converting 1 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit, let's first understand what Celsius and Fahrenheit are.
Celsius
Celsius is a temperature scale developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. It is based on the idea that water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The Celsius scale is commonly used in scientific and everyday applications in most countries.
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale developed by German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. It is based on the idea that water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in the United States and a few other countries.
Converting 1 Degree Celsius to Fahrenheit
Now, let's convert 1 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit.
The Formula
The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
The Conversion
Let's plug in 1 degree Celsius into the formula:
°F = (1 × 9/5) + 32 °F = 1.8 + 32 °F = 33.8
The Result
Therefore, 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we have successfully converted 1 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula. This conversion is important in various fields such as science, engineering, and everyday life, especially when dealing with international communication and collaboration.
