By find how high the water would be after 20 seconds, you would find out much height is increasing each second.

21 - 4 = 7

28 - 21 = 7

35 - 35 = 7, and so forth.

So, we know that 7 cm is increasing each second. You would just add 7 to the height for each second.

2 --> 14

3 --> 21

4 --> 28

5 --> 35

6 --> 42

7 --> 49

8 --> 56

9 --> 63

10 --> 70

11 --> 77

12 --> 84

13 --> 91

14 --> 98

15 --> 105

16 --> 112

17 --> 119

18 --> 126

19 --> 133

20 --> 140

Thus, after 20 seconds, the water's height would be c) 140 cm.

Answer:

answer C: 140 cm

Explanation:

If the water rises 14cm in 2 seconds, 21cm in 3 seconds etc... Then the water rises at 7cm per second. Multiply this by 20 seconds and you get 140cm
