<u>Given</u>:
Given that an aquarium is being filled with water.
The given graph shows the height of the water over time as the aquarium is being filled.
We need to determine the slope of the graph.
<u>Slope</u>:
The slope of the given graph can be determined using the formula,
Since, the slope is same for all the points on the straight line, then let us consider the points (2,5) and (4,10)
Substituting these points in the above formula, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
Thus, the slope of the given graph is 2.5
Answer:
84.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:
tan(30°) = OB/OA
OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m
Likewise, we have ...
OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m
Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:
BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m
