Estimate the height of the building shown in the following figure by the method of triangulation. The person is standing 5 meters from a pole, which is 15 meters from the building. The person's vision perceives the top of the pole aligned with the top of the building The person is approximately 1.75 meters and the pole is approximately 3.5 meters. m 15 m b) Estimate the volume and mass of water that exists in a lake. The shape of the lake is approximately circular, it is almost 500 meters in diameter and is supposed to have a average depth of 20.0 meters. Remember that the density of water is equal to 1000 Kg / m3 d= 500m h = 20.0m

A submarine is 300 m horizontally from the shore of a fresh water lake and 100 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 210 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level. (a) Draw a diagram of the situation, identifying the two triangles that are important in finding the solution. (b) Find the angle of incidence of the beam striking the waterair interface. (c) Find the angle of refraction. (d) What angle docs the refracted beam make with the horizontal? (e) Find the height of the target above sea level.
