00:04 So it's length here, 37.
00:09 So i want to find the height above the water level.
00:17 And that i'll call x.
00:20 I want to find x.
00:22 Well, the right triangle, here is the hypotenuse.
00:26 Opposite the angle is the x.
00:29 So here is o.
00:32 And here is adjacent to the angle.
00:35 So, o, a, and h.
00:38 I want to find o, i know h...
