Official Guide
In the figure above, \(V\) represents an observation point at one end of a pool. From \(V\), an object that is actually located on the bottom of the pool at point \(R\) appears to be at point \(S\). If \(VR=10\) feet, what is the distance \(RS\), in feet, between the actual position and the perceived position of the object?
A. \(10-5\sqrt{3}\)
B. \(10-5\sqrt{2}\)
C. \(2\)
D. \(2\frac{1}{2}\)
E. \(4\)
