Answer:

Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance.

Actual distance of his Dive is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance from where he dive from = 15 feet

Distance he reached after dive = 15 feet

Also Given:

Alex says that the two distances are opposites,

Also Total distance of dive according to Alex = 15 +-15 =0 feet

Solution:

Now we know that;

The diving board is 15 feet above the water level, and then he reached 15 deep in the water, but here it is important to know that even he is above the surface of the water he is diving in the water and then he reached 15 deep in the water.

So the two distances are in the same direction.

From above scenario we can say that

Total Distance of dive will be = 15 +15 =30 feet.

Hence We can say that Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance. Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

Answer:

  16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the other three sides is 12 ft. After that fence is subtracted from the total, there are 32 ft of fence left for the other two sides of the rectangle. That allows those sides to be 32 ft/2 = 16 ft long.

The rectangle can be 12 ft by 16 ft. The longer dimension is 16 ft.
