Question

A hot air balloon is 200.6 feet above land. After 5 minutes, the parasail is at 120.8 feet above land. What is the change in height?

Answer 1

Answer:

-79.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The change can be found by subracting the ending distance from the beginning distance.

In this case, its 200.6-120.8= 79.8

It is negative because the distance in the end became lower than the beginning distance.

Hope this helps!
