The function W(d)=0.112d approximates the amount in centimeters of water that results from d cm of snow melting. Find the amount of water that results from snow melting from depths of 20cm,38com, and 62cm.
To find the amount of water that results from snow melting at different depths, we can plug each depth value into the given function W(d) = 0.112d.
Let's calculate the amount of water for each depth:
1. Depth = 20 cm:
W(20) = 0.112 * 20
= 2.24 cm
Therefore, melting 20 cm of snow produces approximately 2.24 cm of water.
2. Depth = 38 cm:
W(38) = 0.112 * 38
= 4.256 cm
Thus, melting 38 cm of snow gives us approximately 4.256 cm of water.
3. Depth = 62 cm:
W(62) = 0.112 * 62
= 6.944 cm
Finally, melting 62 cm of snow results in approximately 6.944 cm of water.
Therefore, the amounts of water produced by melting snow at depths of 20 cm, 38 cm, and 62 cm are approximately 2.24 cm, 4.256 cm, and 6.944 cm, respectively.
