Lake Michigan is one of five great lakes in north america. In summertime, lake Michigan recedes about 1/4 foot per hour. Lake Michigan is about 279 ft. In depth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, a possible question is "calculate the depth of the lake after certain number of hours (say 2 hours)"

Given

First, we calculate the depth receded.

If the rate is 1/4ft per hour

Then

The Depth receded in 2 hours is:

The new depth is then calculated as:

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²

hello!

some people may think so but i don't. its just a human instinct in my opinion.

have a fantastic day! ~pooch ♥
