We need to express our total area S in terms of only one variable, so we need to figure out how to express the length of the water level EF in terms of h only.

For part a, why the equation cannot be EF/EB = DQ/DP?
l/30 = h/4√21
l/30 = h/4√21
Because the triangles from which this equation is derived are not similar.
We need to find two similar triangles so that we can make the relevant similarity ratio statements.
