To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Prism The prism is an equilateral triangle, which means all angles are equal to 60 degrees. The angle of the prism (A) is therefore: \[ A = 60^\circ \] ### Step 2: Determine the Angle of Incidence According to the problem, the angle of incidence (I) is \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the angle of the prism. Therefore, we calculate: ...
