Answer:

a

[tex]D  =  11.9874  \  m [/tex]

b

[tex]h = 33.38 \ m [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length of the anchor above water is  L =  4 ft

   The length of the anchor inside the water is [tex]d  =  36 -4  =  32 \  ft[/tex]

   The angle the anchor line makes with the water is  [tex]\theta =  22^o[/tex]

Generally from SOHCAHTOA rule

       [tex]sin (\theta ) = \frac{D}{d}[/tex]

Here D is the depth of the water

=>   [tex]sin(22)= \frac{D}{32}[/tex]

=>  [tex]D  =  32 *   sin(22)[/tex]

=>  [tex]D  =  11.9874  \  m [/tex]    

Generally from SOHCAHTOA rule

     [tex]cos (\theta ) =  \frac{h}{ d + L}[/tex]

Here h is the horizontal distance

=>   [tex]cos (22 ) =  \frac{h}{ 4 + 32}[/tex]

=>   [tex]cos (22 ) =  \frac{h}{ 36}[/tex]

=>   [tex]h = 33.38 \ m [/tex]
