Answer:

The top of the pipe is 1.6m far above the water surface.

Explanation:

Total length of the pipe= 3.1m

Length under water= 1.5m

To find the length from water surface to the top of the pipe, subtract the length under water from total length of the pipe; 3.1m-1.5m = 1.6m

Therefore, the top of the pipe is 1.6m far above the water surface.
