Using a knotted rope to take soundings of depths can be imprecise, as the knots may not accurately indicate depth if they shift or if the rope stretches. Additionally, the method can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, especially in deep waters, where the rope can become unwieldy. Furthermore, environmental factors like currents or waves can affect the accuracy of the reading, leading to inconsistent results.
Cut the rope
To untangle a knotted rope efficiently and effectively, start by identifying the main knot and any smaller tangles. Gently work on each tangle separately, using your fingers to loosen the knots. If needed, use a pointed object like a needle or a small stick to help untangle tight knots. Patience and persistence are key to successfully untangling a rope.

It doesn't. It could be an equilateral triangle, with 4 equal intervals on each side.You're thinking of a right triangle with sides in the ratio of [3 to 4 to 5], with a sum of 12.Actually, I think it could be a triangle of anyshape. Any triangle can be inflated or deflated,keeping its shape so that all versions of it are similar, until its perimeter is 12.
