Question: A gravity survey is carried out over a suspect ore deposit, revealing a regional linear trend and a local gravity high. The complete Bouguer anomalies
A gravity survey is carried out over a suspect ore deposit, revealing a regional linear trend and a local gravity high. The complete Bouguer anomalies along a transect passing over the center of the gravity high are reported in the table below. Estimate the depth of the ore deposit and its total mass anomaly.

Please at least give me formulas, i don't understand how they are able to find depth without the width of the anomaly.
