The Trout will have to jump 49 cm in order to catch the insect

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance the Trout has to jump in order to catch the Insect

To calculate this, we need to know the difference in the distances

From what we have, the Trout is 32 cm below the surface while the Insect is 17 cm above the surface of the lake

The difference in height which will represent the distance that the Trout has to jump to catch the insect will be ;

17 + 32 = 49 cm
