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)
Lake Profondo: 84 feet
Lake Segundo: (5/6) * 84 feet = 70 feet
Since the elevation is below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
The depth of Lake Profondo is 84 feet.
Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep as Lake Profondo.
To find the depth of Lake Segundo, we need to multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5 * 84) / 6
Multiplying 5 by 84 gives us 420. Dividing 420 by 6 gives us 70.
Therefore, the depth of Lake Segundo is 70 feet.
Since the elevation is below sea level, we can represent it as a negative value.
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we first need to determine 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 this depth by 5/6:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
To convert this depth to elevation below sea level, we simply consider it as a negative value, since elevation below sea level is denoted with negative numbers. So, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = - (5/6) * 84 feet
Simplifying this expression, we have:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = - 70 feet
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 70 feet below sea level.
