a laser positioned on a ship is used to communicate with a small two man research submarine resting on the bottom of a lake. The laser is positioned 12 meters above the surface of the water, and it strikes the water 20 meters from the side of the ship. The water is 58 meters deep and has an index of refraction of 1.33. How far is the submarine from the side of the ship?
