Answer:

2.379m

Step-by-step explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question

Thank you!
