learning objective:
By the end of this activity students will be able to find the optimal solution in a 3-dimensional optimization problem using the graphical method.

description:
This activity is in the form of a 3d graph. Students walk through each step of completing a linear programming problem starting with graphing a constraint, graphing an objective function, and finally finding the optimal solution.

When designing open channels we often determine the channels dimensions assuming that the channel will be flowing at normal depth (dn) or that there is enough channel length for the depth to fully develop to normal depth. The goal of this learning object is to provide the user the opportunity to evaluate the actual water surface profile for a channel sequence.
