Answer:
1.5 nautical miles
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached diagram.
The submarine starts to dive at point A and diving along AB.
If the distance traveled underwater i.e. AB = 1.7 Nautical miles and C is the point directly above its current position at B.
Then Δ ABC is a right triangle having ∠ BAC = 28° {Given}
So, using trigonometry we can write
⇒ nautical miles.
Therefore, the surface distance that the submarine travels is 1.5 nautical miles. (Answer)
