To find: The measure of displacement if t measures 10 centimeters, the measure of angle A is
Answer to Problem 32E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Biology: An object under water is not exactly where it appears to be. The displacement x depends on the angle A at which the light strikes the surface of the water from below, the depth t of the object and the angle B at which the light leaves the surface of the water. The measure of displacement is modeled by the equation
Calculation:
Substitute all of the variables into the equation
Simplify
Solve for x
