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 evaluation is below sea level. Account for this in your answer
Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep as Lake Profondo, so its depth is (5/6) * 84 feet = <<(5/6)*84=70>>70 feet.
If we account for the fact that the elevation is below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be -70 feet.
To determine the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to calculate the depth of Lake Segundo first.
Given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, we can find the depth of Lake Segundo by multiplying this by 5/6:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
= 70 feet
Now, we know that the elevation is below sea level. Assuming sea level is at 0 feet, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be 0 - 70 = -70 feet.
Therefore, the evaluation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, accounting for being below sea level, is -70 feet.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from sea level.
Given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, we can calculate the depth of Lake Segundo by multiplying it by 5/6 (since Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep).
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 feet
Now, to find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from sea level. Since sea level is at 0 feet, we have:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = Sea level - Depth of Lake Segundo
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = 0 feet - [(5/6) * 84 feet]
To evaluate this equation, let's simplify it step by step:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = 0 feet - (420/6) feet
Since the evaluation is below sea level, the answer will be negative. Let's proceed with the subtraction:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = - (420/6) feet
Finally, we can simplify the fraction:
Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = - 70 feet
So, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet below sea level.
