Given:
A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet).
Rate of diving = 5.6 feet per minute.
Time = hour
To find:
The rational number that represents his position relative to sea level.
Solution:
We know that,
1 hour = 60 minutes
hour = 30 minutes
A deep sea diver, dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute.
Distance covered in 1 minute = 5.6 feet
Distance covered in 30 minute = 30 × 5.6 feet
= 168 feet
The diver dove 168 feet in hour. Since it is below the sea level, therefore it should be negative.
So, the rational number that represents his position relative to sea level is feet.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Please consider the attached file.
We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.
We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:
Now we will take positive square root on both sides:
Therefore, the length of line segment KJ is and option D is the correct choice.
