To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup We have a pile that is 4 meters high, with 1 meter above the water surface and 3 meters submerged. The sun's rays make a 45° angle with the water surface. We need to find the length of the shadow of the pile on the bottom of the lake. ### Step 2: Identify the points Let: - Point A be the top of the pile (4 m above the bottom of the lake). ...
