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 = <<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.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, which is 5/6 as deep as Lake Profondo, we need to multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
1. Calculate the depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = Depth of Lake Profondo * 5/6
= 84 feet * 5/6
2. Simplify the equation:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (84 * 5) / 6
= 420 / 6
= 70 feet
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is 70 feet below sea level.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6, as Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep.
First, let's find the depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * Depth of Lake Profondo
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 ft
Next, let's calculate the actual depth of Lake Segundo:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * 84 ft
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5 * 84) / 6 ft
Depth of Lake Segundo = 420 ft / 6 ft
Depth of Lake Segundo = 70 ft
Since the question asks for the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to consider that the elevation is below sea level.
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be -70 feet.
