4 meters
The change in height can be found by subtracting the final depth from the initial height:
Change in height = Initial height - Final depth
= 10 meters - 6 meters
= 4 meters
So the change in height is 4 meters.
I FALD BECAUSE OF YALL BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP....
To find the change in height, you need to subtract the depth reached in the water from the height of the platform.
The height of the platform is given as 10 meters, and the depth reached in the water is given as 6 meters.
To calculate the change in height, subtract 6 meters from 10 meters:
10 meters - 6 meters = 4 meters.
Therefore, the change in height is 4 meters.
To find the change in height, you need to subtract the final height from the initial height. In this case, the initial height is 10 meters (the height of the platform) and the final height is 6 meters (the depth reached in the water by Ping).
The calculation can be written as:
Change in height = Initial height - Final height
Change in height = 10 meters - 6 meters
Subtracting these two values, you get:
Change in height = 4 meters
So, the change in height for Ping is 4 meters. Therefore, the correct response is 4 meters.
