Explanation / Answer

a) the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressureis known as pulse pressure. So 180-90 =90mm of Hg. b)the mean arterial pressure is calculated as follows: MAP = 2 X diastolic +systolic /3           =2 X 90 +180/3           = 180 +180/3           120mmof Hg. hope this helps
