Question 894068: Suppose that a wave forms in shallow water. The depth "d" of the water (in feet) and the velocity (v) of the wave (in feet per second) are related by the equation v = sqrt 32d. If a wave forms in water with a depth of 8.5 feet, what is its velocity?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
That's the best that I can type this question.
I hope that I asked it in the appropriate section.
Please help me. Thank you. :)

Suppose that a wave forms in shallow water. The depth "d" of the water (in feet) and the velocity (v) of the wave (in feet per second) are related by the equation v = sqrt 32d. If a wave forms in water with a depth of 8.5 feet, what is its velocity?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
V+=+sqrt%2832d%29 where:
V = velocity of the wave
d = depth of the water
:
d=8.5
V+=+sqrt%2832%2A8.5%29
V+=+sqrt%28272%29
use the calc
V = 16.5 ft/sec
:
Pretty easy, right?
