A river was found to be contaminated with toxins at a concentration of 0.006 grams per cubic meter near a mine tailings pond. 1500 meters away, the concentration was found to be 0.004 grams grams per cubic meter. Assume the concentration drops off linearly going downstream, and it is uniform over the 50 square meter cross section. How many grams of toxins do you estimate have leaked from the tailings pond? a. 675 grams b. 650 grams c. 700 grams d. 625 grams

The total body surface area, or BSA, of a human is difficult to calculate. There are various models that estimate BSA based on a person's weight and height. One simpler model is BSA = where w = weight in kg and h = height in cm. a. Using this model, estimate the height of a person who weighs 75 kg and whose BSA is 1.9. Round your answer to the nearest cm. h = Number cm wh 3600 b. Using this model, estimate the weight of a person who is 164 cm tall and whose BSA is 2.2. Round your answer to the nearest kg. w = Number kg
On the previous screen, you said that it might be helpful to know the surface area in the following situations: • How much wrapping paper a gift will need. • How much cardboard it takes to make a milk container. List two more situations in life where surface area might be useful. Consider asking family and friends to add to your list.

Wolf packs tend to be large extended family groups that have a well-defined hunting territory. Wolves not in the pack are driven out of the territory or killed. In ecologically similar regions, is the size of an extended wolf pack related to size of hunting region? Using radio collars on wolves, the size of the hunting region can be estimated for a given pack of wolves. Let x represent the number of wolves in an extended pack and y represent the size of the hunting region in km2/1000.
