Question

in the backwaters of Kerala a boatman was throwing a Boat using a long pole of length 4.80 when he put the pole vertically into the water so that the pole touch the ground under the water 0.25 part of the pole was above the water level what is the depth of the water at that point​

Answer 1

3.60m

Explanation:

In backwaters of Kerala, a boatman was throwing a boat with a long pole which has a length of 4.80m

The boatman put the pole into the water vertically, the part of the pole that was seen above the water level is 0.25m

The first step is to calculate the length of the pole that is seen above the water level

= 4.80 × 0.25

= 1.20m

Therefore the depth of the water at that point can be calculated as follows

=4.80m - 1.20m

= 3.60m

Hence the depth of the water at that point is 3.60m
