Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet. Lake Segundo is 5/6 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.) (1 point)
Since Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, Lake Segundo is 5/6 * 84 feet = <<5/6*84=70>>70 feet deep.
The elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 70 feet below sea level. Answer: <<70=70>>70 feet.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to determine the depth of Lake Segundo first.
Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep as Lake Profondo, which has a depth of 84 feet.
To calculate the depth of Lake Segundo, we can multiply the depth of Lake Profondo (84 feet) by the fraction representing Lake Segundo's depth compared to Lake Profondo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
Now, let's perform the calculation:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
= (5 * 84) / 6 feet
= 420 / 6 feet
= 70 feet
Therefore, the depth of Lake Segundo is 70 feet.
Since we're accounting for the elevation below sea level, we can assume that the bottom of both lakes is at sea level, which is 0 feet.
Hence, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 0 feet.
To determine the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to find 5/6 of the depth of Lake Profondo. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Start by finding the depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * Depth of Lake Profondo.
2. Substitute the given depth of Lake Profondo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet.
3. Calculate the depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 = 70 feet.
Since the depth of Lake Segundo is the same as its elevation below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 70 feet below sea level.
