The snake a roller coaster climbs 125 feet from ground level then drop 60 feet before climbing another 135 feet how far does the coaster need to drop or climb to be back at ground level
To be back at ground level, the coaster needs to drop the same amount it climbed.
Total climb = 125 + 135 = <<125+135=260>>260 feet
Total drop = 260 feet
Therefore, the coaster needs to drop 260 feet to be back at ground level.
To determine how far the coaster needs to drop or climb to be back at ground level, we need to calculate the net change in height.
The coaster climbs 125 feet, drops 60 feet, and then climbs another 135 feet. The total change in height can be calculated as follows:
Change in height = (Climb + Drop + Climb)
= (125 + (-60) + 135)
= 200 feet
Therefore, the coaster needs to drop or climb 200 feet to be back at ground level.
