Question

If I am swimming at 12 feet underwater , then I descend another 13 feet , then after 2 minutes I ascend 19 feet , how far am I under water.

Answer 1

You are 32 feet underwater.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far you are underwater, we need to calculate the total change in depth. If you start at 12 feet underwater, then descend another 13 feet, your total descent is 12 + 13 = 25 feet. After 2 minutes, you ascend 19 feet, so your total change in depth is -19 feet (negative because you're going up).

To find the final depth, we add the total change in depth to your initial depth:

Final depth = Initial depth + Total change in depth

Final depth = 12 - 25 + (-19) = -32 feet

So, you are 32 feet underwater.
