The depth of sun after 5 minutes is 809.82 feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
A submarine dives at an angle of 13 degrees to the surface of the water
The submarine travels at a speed of 720 feet per minute
The figure is attached below
ACB is a right angled triangle
AB is the distance between surafce of water and submarine
BC is the depth of submarine
Let "x" be the depth of sun after 5 minutes
Therefore, distance between submarine and surface of water is:
Submarine dives at an angle of 13 degrees to the surface of the water
Therefore, angle A = 13 degrees
Now we have to find BC
By definition of sine,
Here, opposite = BC = x
hypotenuse = AB = 3600 feet
Thus, we get,
Thus the depth of sun after 5 minutes is 809.82 feet
