Answer:

the submarine is 92.994 feet ≈ 93 feet deep from the surface of the water

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in a triangle where the hypotenuse is the detection distance and the angle with the horizontal surface of water is the depression angle, then the underwater distance is the vertical side of the triangle.

If we denote Ф  as the angle of depression ,d as the detection distance and x as the unknown depth of the submarine, using trigonometry:

x = d* sin Ф

thus

x=  d * sin Ф = 238 feet * sin 23° = 92.994 feet ≈ 93 feet

So the hypotenuse is the ladder's length, which is 6m, and the base of the 'triangle' is 1.5m. Therefore, you do 6^2 - 1.5^2 = 36 - 2.25 = 33.75. Then, you just square root it to get 5.80948m. Hope this helps!

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

  • 2–9  7π/6
  • 3–7  2π/3
  • 4–6  π/3
  • 1–4  π/2
  • 5–10  5π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between numbers on an analog clock is π/6 radians. So, the angles of interest are ...

  2 to 9 : seven numbers : 7π/6 radians

  3 to 7 : four numbers : 4π/6 = 2π/3 radians

  4 to 6 : two numbers : 2π/6 = π/3 radians

  1 to 4 : three numbers : 3π/6 = π/2 radians

  5 to 10 : five numbers : 5π/6 radians
