Question

"The top of a tree is 17 feet above sea level. The bottom of the lake is 10 feet below sea level. What is

the vertical distance from the bottom of the lake to the top of the tree?
F) 28 5/12feet
G) -28 5/12 feet
H) 6/12 feet
J) -6/12 feet"

Answer 1

The vertical distance from the bottom of the lake to the top of the tree is 27 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance from the bottom of the lake to the top of the tree can be calculated by adding the height of the tree to the depth of the lake. The top of the tree is 17 feet above sea level and the bottom of the lake is 10 feet below sea level, so the total distance is 17 + 10 = 27 feet. Therefore, the vertical distance from the bottom of the lake to the top of the tree is 27 feet.
