An underground aquifer near Seiling, Oklahoma, sits on an impermeable layer of limestone. West of Seiling the limestone layer is thought to slope downward in a straight line. In order to map the limestone layer, hydrologists started at Seiling heading west and drilled sample wells. Two miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220 feet. Three miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270 feet (a) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer 5 miles west of Seiling
(b) You want to drill a well down to the limestone layer as far west from Seiling as you can. Your budget will allow you to drill a well that is 275 feet deep. How far west of Seiling can you go to drill the well? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
