Answer:
Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ The cave entrance is the zero position
∵ Anna is in 42 feet below the cave entrance
→ Below zero means negative
∴ Anna is in -42 feet
∵ She descends 10 feet
→ Descend means negative
∴ She is in -42 + -10 = -52 feet
∵ She ascends 15 feet
→ Ascend means positive
∴ She is in -52 + 15 = -37 feet
→ -37 means she is in below the cave entrance by 37 feet
∴ Her new position is 37 feet below the cave entrance
