Answer 1

593.14 m

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of rig visible above water surface (sea. Level) = 74.98m

Length of rig below surface of water (sea level) = 518.16 m

The total height of the rig:

The surface of water is usually regarded as a zero point ;

Hence. The total height of rig will be the sum of the height above sea level and the length below water surface

=(74.98 + 518.16) m

= 593.14 m
