7.5 forms a right triangle, with the submerged
X = 0.25 = 30 Ω part of the pole as one side, the shadow as the
hypotenuse, and the line segment from the
water surface to the end of the shadow as the

So, the length of the submerged part of the
pole is as follows.
x = 2.15 × cosr
Also, the length of the line segment from the
water surface to the end of the shadow can be
calculated as:
y = 2.15 × sinr
So, the total length of the pole above the
water surface is then the sum of x and the
depth of the swimming pool gives the
