A scuba diver swam 88 feet beneath the surface of the lake. He then climbs up 49 feet. What is his depth now?
- A -39 feet
- B 39 feet
- C 137 feet
- D -137 feet
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The scuba diver initially swam 88 feet beneath the surface, indicating a negative depth. When he climbs up 49 feet, he is moving in the positive direction. Therefore, his depth now would be the difference between the two distances, which is -39 feet.
