A squirrel has stored its acorns in a hole that is 45 feet from the ground and a tall tree. The squirrel starts on a perch, 100 feet above the ground the squirrel news from the perch down to its stored acorns in 5.25 seconds interpret the quote Net to describe the rate of change in the squirrels height above the ground give your answer to the nearest hundred.

Answer 1

The "Net" is used to describe the overall or total change in a certain quantity. In this case, the "Net" is used to describe the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground.

To find the net change in the squirrel's height, we can subtract the final height from the initial height. The squirrel starts on a perch 100 feet above the ground and then descends to a hole 45 feet from the ground. Therefore, the overall change in height is 100 feet - 45 feet = 55 feet.

However, the question asks to interpret the "Net" to the nearest hundred, which means we need to round the net change in height to the nearest hundred. Since 55 feet is already a multiple of 100, the net change in height is 0.

Therefore, the interpretation of the "Net" in this context is that there is no overall change in the squirrel's height above the ground.
