Answer:

3791m

Explaation:

We are given the following from the diagram;

Ocean surface = adjacent side = x

hypotenuse = 3900m

Angle of depression = 76.4 degrees

According to SOH

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 76.4 = opp/3900

Opp = 3900sin76.4

Opp = 3900*0.9719

Opp = 3,790.41

The distance below the ocean surface is approximately 3791m
