An underground aquifer near Seiling, Oklahoma, sits on an impermeable layer of limestone. West of Seiling the limestone layer is

thought to slope downward in a straight line. In order to map the limestone layer, hydrologists started at Seiling heading west and drilled sample wells. Two miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220 feet. Three miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270 feet
(a) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer 5 miles west of Seiling
(b) You want to drill a well down to the limestone layer as far west from Seiling as you can. Your budget will allow you to drill a well that is 275 feet deep. How far west of Seiling can you go to drill the well? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

(A) 490ft.

(B) 2.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Important points to note:

- The limestone layer is thought or assumed to slope downward in a straight line.

- 2 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220ft.

- 3 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270ft.

(A) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer, 5 miles west of Seiling?

The expected depth of the limestone layer is:

2 miles + 3 miles = 5 miles

220ft + 270ft = 490ft

(B) Your budget will allow you drill a well that is 275ft deep. How far west of Seiling (in miles) can you go, to drill the well?

If 490ft  ~  5 miles

then 275ft  ~  K miles

K = [275 x 5] / 490  = 2.80612245 miles

Rounding to 1 decimal place, the distance is 2.8 miles.

The distance, in feet, a stone drops in tt seconds is given by d(t)=16t2d(t)=16t2. The depth of a hole is to be approximated by
Verizon [17]

Define the distance through the equation

x=16t^2

The distance against the time is given by

\Delta x = 32 t \Delta t

\Delta t = \frac{2}{10}s

When t=2s,

\Delta x = 32(2)\frac{2}{10}

\Delta x = 12.8

There is a error in 12.8feet.

b) When t=5sec

\Delta x= 32t\Delta t

\Delta x= 32(5)*\frac{2}{10}

\Delta x = 32

There is a error in 32 feet.

Using the following relationship,
stealth61 [152]
The given equation is:
X/Y = A/B
First, we will get rid of the denominators.
To do so, we will multiply both sides of the equation by YB
This will give:
XB = AY
We want to get the value of the Y. Therefore, we need to get rid of the coefficient of the Y which is the A. To do so, we will divide both sides of the equation by A.
This will give:
Y = XB/A

Comparing this result to the given choices, we will find that the correct choice is B
