Question

Rose is fishing from a small boat. A fish swimming at the same depth as the hook at the end of her fishing line is 8 meters away from the hook.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete, as the depth of the hook isn't given in the question. However, using a proposed depth for the hook, we could give a stepwise solution to the exercise.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

If given a hook depth of 6 meters, and a distance of 8 m(fishing line from hook) at the the Same depth, then the distance between rose and the fish, x can be calculated, using the relation.

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(refer to attached picture)

x² = 6² + 8²

x² = 36 +. 64

x² = 100

x = sqrt(100)

x = 10 meters

You can use the actual depth value to obtain the actual solution to your question.
