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.)
Lake Segundo is 5/6 * 84 feet = <<5/6*84=70>>70 feet deep.
Since the elevation is below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet. Answer: \boxed{-70}.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we first need to find the depth of Lake Segundo.
Given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, we can calculate the depth of Lake Segundo by multiplying the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6:
Depth of Lake Segundo = Depth of Lake Profondo * (5/6)
= 84 feet * (5/6)
= 70 feet
Now, since the elevation is below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be a negative value. We can represent this by simply putting a negative sign in front:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = -70 feet
To find the depth or elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we first need to determine 5/6 of the depth of Lake Profondo.
Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep as Lake Profondo, so we can find its depth by multiplying the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
Step 1: Multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
Depth of Lake Segundo = 84 feet * 5/6 = 70 feet
However, the question asks for the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, which is below sea level. We know that sea level is considered to be at 0 elevation.
Step 2: Convert the depth of Lake Segundo to a below sea level elevation.
Since Lake Segundo has a depth of 70 feet, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet, indicating it's below sea level.
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
