Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach at high tide measured where 1995 is represented by year 0.
B. Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?

Between year 11 and 12?

sooobored · Answer

it is incredibly hard to say in my opinion

if you assumed that the erosion is constant, then through interpolating, you would notice that the width would decrease by 2 every year

as for approximately close... that could mean almost anything

sooobored · Answer

unless you're looking at dune width

sooobored · Answer

i take that back, dune width looks like it is increasing by 5 every year so that doesnt help either?

are you sure its asking to compare width and not volume?

sooobored · Answer

or area?

meteorite · Answer

I'm sure

meteorite · Answer

I already know the rate at which each of them increase and decrease I just wanted another set of eyes for part B.

sooobored · Answer

well based off just the chart, i would either go with 10,11 or 11,12

but in the grand scheme of things, they dont make much sense if the rate is constant
