Using the principle of similar triangles, the appropriate depth to take the water sample should be 15 feets

Setting up the equation thus :

1.5 / d = 5 / 50

Cross multiply

1.5 × 50 = d × 5

75 = 5d

Divide both sides by 5

5d / 5 = 75/5

d = 15

Therefore, the appropriate depth to take the water sample is 15 feets.
