Answer:

3.8 feet

Explanation:

Given that the person is standing in a pool. That means he is keeping his feet at the bottom level of the pool. His height is 6.2 ft.

Top of the person head above the surface of water= 2.8 feet.

Hence height of the person= Top of the person head above the surface of water+depth of the pool

6.2 = 2.8+depth of pool

Depth of pool = 6.2-2.8 = 3.4 feet.
