Question 737120: I need help with the following math question:
The maximum depth of water in a circular pipe of radius 25 cm is 18 cm. Find the width of the water surface across the pipe. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance from the center of the pipe to the surface
of the water in the pipe is cm
-----------
Also, the distance from the center of the pipe to where
the surface contacts the pipe is the radius,
This forms a right triangle when you include the surface
-----------
Call ( center of water surface to where surface meets pipe ) =
Now I can say
The is 1/2 of the width of the water's surface, so
the width of the water surface across the pipe is 48 cm
