Answer:
67.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the long hand would be at number 9 and you also know that from the number 6 to 9 it would be 90°. Between each number, there are also 5 smaller marks on the clock. Thus, for 90°, there would be 5×3=15 smaller marks. (I used 3 because between 6 and 9 there are 3 big numbers)
Now here's the trickier part: There are 60 minutes within 5 small marks. We can find out at which mark does the shorter hand move to at 45 minutes.
×5 = 3.75
Out of the 15 smaller marks of 90°, the 45th minute stands at 3.75. The angle of 3.75 would then be between the 15th mark and the 3.75th mark. The gap would be 15-3.75 = 11.25 marks.
×90° = 67.5°
You can refer to the picture for better visualisation of the clock. Hope this helps.

Have a look at the image attachment. I've added the points A, B, C, D such that
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD
We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x
Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625
So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to 10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)
