Mr. Whittaker’s science class uses tide gauges to measure annual variations in water levels at different parts of a river, and then compares those variations to the average annual trend. Matea recorded that the water level in one part of the river fell 1.05 millimeters per year for 2.48 years. This data will be compared to the average annual trend, which shows the water level rising 1.8 mm/year. Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell? Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

The school track has eight lanes. each lane is 1.25 meters wide. the arc at each end of the track is 180. the distance of the home straight and the radii for the arcs in the 1st 4 lanes are given. s=85m r1=36.5m r2=37.75m r3=39m r4=40.25m part one: find the radii of lanes 5 through 8 of the track. show your work. part two: if max ran around lane one, how far did he run? show your work and explain your solution. part three: max wants to run a total of three laps around the track, choose two additional lanes (2-8) for him to run and find the distance around those two lanes. show your work and round to the hundredths. part 4: based on your lane choices in part three, what was the total distance max ran in the three laps around the track?
