Answer:
x_total = 4.29m
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we must work in parts. Let's use the law of refraction to find the angle of the refracted ray and trigonometry to find the distances.
Let's start by looking for the angles that the laser refracts
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where n₁ is the air refraction compensation n₁ = 1, n₂ the water refractive index n₂ = 1,333
θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (n₁ sin θ₁/n₂)
θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (1 sin 27 / 1,333)
θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.34057
θ₂ = 19.9º
now let's find the distance from the edge of the pool to the point where the ₂lightning strikes the water
tan θ₁ = y₁ / x₁
x₁ = y₁ / tan θ₁
x₁ = 1.49 / tan 27
x₁ = 2,924 m
Now let's look for the waterfall in the water as far as Robin
tan θ₂₂ = y₂ / x₂
x₂ = y₂ / tan θ₂
x₂ = 3.77 / tan 19.9
x₂ = 1,364
the distance from the edge of the pool to Robin is
x_total = x₁ + x₂
x_total = 2,924 + 1,364
x_total = 4.29m

Explanation:
To derive an equation you must indicate the variable you want to solve for.
Here we have tension of an object A and Tension 1.
Two variables or unknown are given hence we cannot derive any other equations.
