A trough with a triangular cross section 2016-05-21
From Clarice:
A trough having an equilateral triangle end sections has sides equal to 0.4 m and 7m long.what is the volume of the liquid in the container if the depth of the water is one half the depth of the trough?

A triangular trough 2007-07-19
From janine:
A trough is formed by nailing together, edge to edge, two boards 11 ft. in length, so that the right section is a right triangle. If a 15 gallon of water are poured into the trough and if the trough is held level so that a right section of water is an isosceles right triangle, how deep is the water? (231cu.in=1 gal.)

Water in a triangular trough 2007-01-30
From Trina:
the trough is 5 feet long and its vertical cross sections are inverted isosceles triangles with base 2 feet and height 3 feet. water is draining out of the trough at a rate of 2 cubic feet per minute. at any time t, let h be the depth and v be the volume of water in the trough.
a. find the volume of water in the trough when it is full
b. what is the rate of change in h at the instant when the trough is .25 full by volume?
c. what is the rate of change in the area of the surface of the water at the instant when the trough is .25 full by volume?
