Question

The diagram shows the rate of water going over a dam (cubic meters per day) over a 60-day period. What does the area under the graph of these data represent?

A. The total volume of water that flowed over the dam during the 60-day period

B. The maximum rate of water that flowed over the dam during the 60-day period

C. The average rate of water that flowed the dam during the 60-day period

D. The rate of change of the flow rate of water over the dam during the 60-day period

13. Use the graph below to answer the question that follows. 10 20 30 40 50 60 Time (days) The diagram shows the rate of water going over a dam (cubic meter What does the area under the graph of these data represent?

Explanation / Answer

The area under the graph of this data is = Rate of flow per day x Number of days = Total volume of water that flowed over the dam during the 60-day period.

Hence the correct choice is A.
