Problem
A wildlife photographer is trying to photograph a bird perched on a branch above a calm lake. The photographer stands at the edge of the lake with her camera 1.6m above the water surface. The bird is 2.4m above the water surface and 8.0m horizontally from the photographer. Due to the bright sunlight, the photographer can only see the bird clearly by looking at its reflection in the water. At what angle below the horizontal must she point her camera to capture the bird's reflection?
