Andy is fishing from a small boat. A fish swimming at the same depth as the hook at the end of his fishing line is 12 meters away from the hook. If Andy is 15 meters away from the fish, how far below Andy is the hook?

27 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

----- from hook

---- from the fishing line

Required

Distance between Andy and the hook

The scenario can be represented as:

Hook ----------------------- Fishing Line ----------------------------- Andy

Using the above representation, the distance (d) between Andy and the hook is:

34.5 cm

step-by-step explanation:

generally for a circular segment of angle, θ° and radius r

arc length

= (θ/360) x circumference

= (θ/360) x 2πr

in our case, θ = 60°, π=3.142 and r = 33 cm

substitute into above formula

arc length

= (60/360) x 2(3.142)( 33) = 34.5 cm

-81 -56 -27 0 81
