Since the top of the person's head is above the water (by 1.6 feet), that means the water is less than 5.8 feet (the person's height).
So we have to subtract 5.8 - 1.6, and I believe the answer will be 4.2 feet.
The pool is 4.2 feet deep :)

A rectangular box with a square base is open at the top and has a volume of 12 cubic feet. Each side of the base has a length of
Stolb23 [73]

We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.

Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.

The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.

We add 48/x to x^2:

x^2 + 48/x

So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).

Help solving this problem

2t + 5b = 20
8t + 3b = 29
Multiply the first equation by-4
-8t -20b = -80
8t + 3b = 29
-17b = -51
b = 3
Plug 3 in for b into either equation and solve for t.
2t + 5(3) = 20
2t + 15 = 20
2t = 5
Divide both sides by 2
t = 2.50
