Lake Profondo had 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 70 feet deep because 84 x (5/6) = <<84*(5/6)=70>>70
The elevation is -70 because it is below sea level.
To find the depth of Lake Segundo, we can multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
Lake Segundo's depth = (5/6) * 84 feet
Lake Segundo's depth = 70 feet
Since the elevation is below sea level, we know that the depth of Lake Segundo is the same value but negative. Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
To determine the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to find 5/6 of the depth of Lake Profondo and adjust for the elevation below sea level.
Step 1: Calculate the depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * Depth of Lake Profondo
Given that the depth of Lake Profondo is 84 feet, we can substitute this value into the equation:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84
Step 2: Perform the calculation:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84
Depth of Lake Segundo = 70 feet
Step 3: Adjust for the elevation below sea level:
Since the problem states that the elevation is below sea level, the bottom of Lake Segundo will have a negative elevation.
Thus, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
