Answer:

[tex]H_{x} = 3.8ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the problem be expressed like this:

The water level in the high tide be given by: [tex]H_{x}[/tex]

The water level in the high tide be given by: [tex]L_{x}[/tex]

The difference between the two is given by the equation: [tex]H_{x} -L_{x} = 3.6[/tex]

The height in in low tide is 0.2 ft, so the equation becomes:

[tex]H_{x} - 0.2 = 3.6 \\H_{x} = 3.8ft[/tex]
