The formula for the light bend would be n1*sin i= n2 * sin r

If you use "sin (90-x)= cos x" principle, you can change the sin in the equation into
n1*sin i= n2 * sin r
n1 * cos a= n2 * cos b
n2/n1= cos a/ cos b

Assuming the n constant is the ratio of the glass compared to water then the answer would be: cos a/ cos b

A guy wire 30 ft long supports an antenna at a point that is 24 ft above the base of the antenna.
GalinKa [24]
Use Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
152 = a2 + 12
a2 = 152 - 122
=225 - 144 = 81
a = 9 ft
Distance from base of antenna = 9ft

A cruise left port A and traveled towards port B 225 km away. After 1.5 hours of travel, the cruise was stopped for a half an ho
Softa [21]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

v = the original speed of the cruise

d = 225 km the distance passed

t = d/v = 225/v the total time of the travel

v*1.5 + (v + 10)(d/v - 1.5 - 0.5) = d (using the formula distance = speed*time)

1.5v + (v + 10)(225/v - 2) = 225
