a.
Answer to Problem 58SR
The change in width of the beachfront from low to high tide is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The time taken for the ocean to move from low to high tide is 6 hours. The rate at which high tide change the width of beach is
Calculation:
Consider the provided statement that time taken for the ocean to move from low to high tide is 6 hours. The rate at which high tide change the width of beach is
When the change in width is multiplied by number of hours the change in width of the beachfront from low to high tide is obtained that is,
Thus, the change in width of the beachfront from low to high tide is
b.
To calculate: The distance from the ocean to the homes at high tide.
b.
Answer to Problem 58SR
The distance from the ocean to the homes at high tide is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The time taken for the ocean to move from low to high tide is 6 hours. The rate at which high tide change the width of beach is
Calculation:
Consider the provided statement that time taken for the ocean to move from low to high tide is 6 hours. The rate at which high tide change the width of beach is
When the change in width is multiplied by number of hours the change in width of the beachfront from low to high tide is obtained that is,
Since, the distance of beachfront from ocean to homes is 350 feet.
Therefore, distance from the ocean to the homes at high tide is,
Thus, the distance from the ocean to the homes at high tide is
