Answer:

Height of resulting wave = 0.6 meters

Explanation:

Let the higher wave (wave crest) be A while the lower wave (wave trough) be B.

Given the following data;

A = 3.2m

B = 2.6m

To find the height of the resulting wave;

Height = A + B

But the lower wave becomes negative because it is below i.e on the lower trough.

Height = 3.2 + (-2.6)

Height = 3.2 - 2.6

Height of resulting wave = 0.6 meters
