In the attachment is a graph of the cosine function that represents changing of the tide.
y max = 10 ft at midnight
y min = 5 ft at 6 AM
The base is a square, therefore all the sides of the base are the same. This also means all the triangles have the same area.
10*10 = 100 cm^2 for the base
0.5*10*12 = 60 cm^2 for each triangle
100 + 4(60) = 340 cm^2
144/36 in lowest terms is 4.
To show my work, here.
1. Find the GCF of 144 and 36 so now we divide (144/36 = 4 and 36/36 is 1)
2. Now we have 4/1 so we simplify again so divide 4/1 and its 4
when running a line, in a right-triangle, from the 90° angle perpendicular to its opposite side, we will end up with three similar triangles, one Small, one Medium and a containing Large one. Check the picture below.
