Help me please i don't understand

Answer 1

The depth of the water at the deepest point in the waterslide and to the nearest hundredth of a meter is approximately 0.19 meters. (Correct choice: A)

How to determine the depth of the water in a waterslide

In this question we should apply the concepts of right triangles and trigonometric functions to determine the height of the water within the waterslide. A geometric diagram of the cross section of the waterslide is presented below, which indicates the existence of circular symmetry.

Now we proceed to determine the height of the water:

cos α = (0.5 m/0.75 m)

α ≈ 48.190°

y = (0.75 m) · sin 48.190°

y = 0.559 m

x = 0.75 m - 0.559 m

x = 0.191 m

The depth of the water at the deepest point in the waterslide and to the nearest hundredth of a meter is approximately 0.19 meters. (Correct choice: A)
