(a) Calculate the vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse.
Answer a: 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.
(b) Describe Adrian's position from the sea level.
Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Since sea level is the origin of coordinates. distances above sea level are positive and distances below sea level are negative. The distance between two points is the difference between them.
The vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse is the difference between their positions:
Distance = 4.56m - (-6.82m) = 4.56m + 6.82m = 11.38 meters
Answer a) 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.
(b) Adrian's position is in the middle of the distance between the eagle and the seahorse:
Middle = 11.38m/2 = 5.69m
Since 5.69m is more than 4.56m above the sea level, then Adrian is below the sea level:
4.56m - 5.69m = -1.13m
Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.
