In a seismic survey, a horizontal layer of velocity v1=3.0v_1 = 3.0 km/s overlies a half-space of velocity v2=5.0v_2 = 5.0 km/s. The crossover distance (where the direct arrival and the refracted head-wave arrival reach the geophone at the same time) is measured to be xcross=20x_{cross} = 20 km. What is the depth zz of the horizontal boundary?
