Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach measured at high tide where 1

995 is represented by year 0: Year number Western Beach width (in feet) Dunes Beach width (in feet) 0 100 20 5 90 45 10 80 70 11 78 75 12 76 80 15 70 95 Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table. Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width? Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Answer:

1. Western erodes 2 ft/yr; Dunes builds up at 5 ft/yr

2. Sometime in 2006

3. Solve simultaneous equations

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Erosion patterns

(a) Western Beach

In 15 yr, Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.

The rate of erosion is 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.

(b) Dunes Beach

In 15 yr, Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.

The rate of buildup is 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.

2. Beaches with equal width

From the table, it appears that the beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).

3. Best approximation

The graph below also shows that it happens part way through year 11 (2006).

We could get an even better solution by calculating the equations of the two lines and solving the simultaneous equations.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER IS CORRECT
babymother [125]

So I believe that the position the triangle is sitting in is the original position that the question started with correct? (Wasn't sure if you moved it before the screenshot or not)

So for all three points of the triangle, move each of them 6 units to the left since the rule has (x-6). If it was x+6, it should be 6 units to the right then.

After you move it 6 units to the left, move the points (all three) 4 units down since (y-4) means moving in the y-direction downward!

That should be the new place for the triangle to be positioned.

Hope this helps!
