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.)(1 point
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to find 5/6 of the depth of Lake Profondo.
5/6 of 84 feet is (5/6) * 84 = 70 feet.
Since the elevation is below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -70 feet.
To find the depth of Lake Segundo, we can multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
Step 1: Multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6.
84 feet × 5/6 = 70 feet.
So, the depth of Lake Segundo is 70 feet.
Since we need to account for the elevation being below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be 70 feet below sea level.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we first need to calculate its depth. We are given that Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet, so Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep.
To find the depth of Lake Segundo, we can multiply the depth of Lake Profondo by 5/6:
Depth of Lake Segundo = (5/6) * Depth of Lake Profondo
= (5/6) * 84 feet
= (5 * 84) / 6 feet
= 420 / 6 feet
= 70 feet
Now, to determine the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to remember that it is below sea level. Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be negative.
Since Sea level is considered as 0 feet elevation, and the bottom of Lake Segundo is 70 feet below sea level, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo would be -70 feet.
