Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
These triangles are similar using the AA theroem. This means there sides are in corresponding proportion.
Side AR and Side TE are corresponding. Use this proportion.
This side the triangle SAR side lengths are 3/4 of side lengths of triangle SET.
We know that RS+ST=21
And that RS=3/4(ST).
x=12.
Side ST is 12
Answer:
246.3%
the complete question is found in the attached document
Step-by-step explanation:
1st step:
using 1936 data,
w1= 356% = 3.56(356/100) , H= 79 feet
specific gravity = 2.65
Sₓ= 100%= 1
initial void ratio(e₀)= (w1 x specific gravity)/Sₓ
=3.56 x 2.65/1 = 9.434
2nd step
using 1996 data
ΔH= 22ft
ΔH/H = Δe/(1 + e₀)
22/79 = Δe/(1+9.434)
0.278=Δe/10.434
Δe= 0.278 x 10.434
Δe= 2.905
Δe= e₀ - eₓ
eₓ= e₀-Δe
eₓ= 9.434 - 2.905
eₓ= 6.529
3rd step
calculating water content in 1996
eₓ =6.529, specific gravity= 2.65, Sₓ= 100%
W2 X 2.65 = 1 x 6.529
w2 = 6.529/2.65 = 2.463 = 246.3%
