Answer 1

Answer:

The submarine is  307.8 yards below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 500 yards are the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle, the acute angle opposite the side of the triangle we need to find is known ($38^o$), we can use the sine function to solve the problem:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\sin(38^o)=\frac{x}{500} \\500\,*\,sin(38^o)=x\\x = 307.8307\,\,yards$

which rounded to the nearest tenth is : 307.8 yards
