The height of a wave in california varies directly with the seconds that pass by. at 4 seconds, the wave is 6 feet high. how many seconds will give you a wave that is 10 feet high?

a. y = 2/3x
b. 6
c. 6.6
d. 7

After 6.6 seconds will give you a wave that is 10 feet high.

Given ;

The Height of a wave in California varies directly with the seconds that pass by.

At 4 seconds, the wave is 6 feet high.

We have to find : Time taken to give you a wave that is 10 feet high.

Equation of direct variation between x and y = .

Let Time taken to give you a wave that is 10 feet high be x.

Then ,

Putting the values in the equation of direct variation ;

x =

x = 6.6

Hence, after 6.6 seconds will give you a wave that is 10 feet high.
