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.)(1 point)
$$
Lake Segundo is 28 feet deeper than Lake Profondo. Therefore, if Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet below sea level, Lake Segundo would have a depth of 84 + 28 = 112 feet below sea level.
To determine the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from sea level elevation.
Sea level elevation is at an elevation of 0 feet.
Given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet and Lake Segundo is 56 feet as deep, we subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from the sea level elevation:
Sea level elevation (0 feet) - Depth of Lake Segundo (56 feet) = -56 feet.
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -56 feet (below sea level).
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, you need to subtract its depth from sea level. Given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, and Lake Segundo is 56 feet as deep, we can calculate the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo by subtracting the depth from sea level. Since the depth is below sea level, we need to subtract it from sea level, which is considered 0 elevation.
Sea level - Depth of Lake Segundo = Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo
0 - 56 = -56
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -56 feet.
