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.

<u>9x</u> = <u>3y + 5</u>
 9         9
x = 1/3y + 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y + 5/9 - 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y
3(x - 5/9) = 1/3y · 3
3x - 1 2/3 = y
y = 3x - 1 2/3
