Question

A scientist uses a submarine to study ocean life.
• She begins at sea level, which is an elevation of o
feet.
. She travels down 20.6 feet.
. She then rises 12.5 feet.
• Next, she descends a second time, 32.4 feet.
How many feet must she now ascend to get back to
sea level?

Answer 1

Based on the illustration given above, the feet that she now need to ascend to get back to sea level is 40.5.

What is the sea level about?

Note that the first descend was 20.6 - 12.5 =

8.1 feet

Then she drop 32.4 feet again

So to get back up she need to add:

= 32.4 feet + 8.1 feet

= 40.5

Therefore, based on the calculation given above, the feet that she now need to ascend to get back to sea level is 40.5.
