275 feet, what is its new position relative to the sea level?

​

Answer: ​
feet

Answer 1

To find the new position of the submarine relative to sea level after ascending 275 feet from 800 feet below sea level, you can use the following calculation:

1. Start at -800 feet (since it's below sea level).
2. Ascend 275 feet, which means you add 275 to -800.

So the calculation is:

\[ -800 + 275 = -525 \]

The new position of the submarine is 525 feet below sea level.

Answer: -525 feet.
