LCKurtz said:Draw the line y = -2 across your triangle. How deep is that line under the waterline? Put that number in the table for the actual depth. Do the other values of y. Once you have filled in the table, then see if you can figure out the formula. (It's obvious, you're going to kick yourself).
If I draw a y = -2 line, it would be 7 ft under the top of the liquid.
So 7 ft is the actual depth.
And I get numbers like 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. Which are all about the y = -2 line..and under the liquid, correct?
So would my height just by 7 + y?
Thats probably not it..because its not obvious to me, that it would be 7 + y
