Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet. Lake Segundo is 56 as deep. What is the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo? (Remember, the elevation is below sea level. Account for this in your answer.)
The elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be 56 feet below sea level.
To calculate the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to determine the difference in depth between Lake Profondo and Lake Segundo.
Since Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet and Lake Segundo is 56 feet deep, we subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from the depth of Lake Profondo:
84 ft - 56 ft = 28 ft
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 28 feet below sea level.
