While snorkeling in the Bahamas you see an anemone at an angle of depression of 38 degrees. If the bottom is a constant 20 feet deep, how far will you have to swim to reach the anemone?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'd' represent the distance you have to swim to reach the anemone
sin(38) = 20/d
d = 20/sin(38)
d = 32.59 ft
