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  

\cos 28 = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{AC}{1.7}

⇒ AC = 1.7 \times \cos 28 = 1.5 nautical miles.

Therefore, the surface distance that the submarine travels is 1.5 nautical miles. (Answer)

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{x}  \\ x =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \sin(60) }  = 12 \\  \tan(60)  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{y}   \\ y =  \frac{6 \sqrt{3} }{ \tan(60) }  =   6
