Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10.69
Step-by-step explanation:
We must first know that the angle of refraction is given by the following equation:
n_water * sin (A_water) = n_air * sin (A_air)
where n is the refractive index, for water it is 1.33 and for air it is 1.
The angle (A) in the air is 22.8 °, and that of the water is unknown.
Replacing these values we have to:
1.33 * sin (A_water) = 1 * 0.387
sin (A_water) = 1 * 0.387 / 1.33
A_water = arc sin (0.2907) = 16.9 °
now for the tank depth:
h = D / tan (A_water)
D = 3.25
Replacing
h = 3.25 / tan 16.9 °
h = 10.69
Therefore the depth is 10.69 meters.
Answer:
8. 5/6
9. 6.25 or 6 1/4
10. 14.4 Fish
Step-by-step explanation:
8. Reduce the fraction. (20/24) You can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.
9. Divide 75 by 12
10. Divide 72 by 5
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
