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.

Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths.  You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:

34^2=16^2+y^2

y^2=34^2-16^2

y^2=1156-256

y^2=900

y=√900

y=30 ft

So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
