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:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

By intersecting chords theorem:

27(x + 5) = 24(x + 7) \\ 27x + 135 = 24x + 168 \\ 27x - 24x = 168 - 135 \\ 3x = 33 \\  x =  \frac{33}{3}  \\ x = 11
