Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet. Lake Segundo is 5/6 as deep. What is the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo ( Remember, the elevation is below sea level. Account for this in ur answer )

Answer 1

To find the depth of Lake Segundo, we need to calculate \( \frac{5}{6} \) of the depth of Lake Profondo, which is 84 feet.

\[ \text{Depth of Lake Segundo} = \frac{5}{6} \times 84 = \frac{420}{6} = 70 \text{ feet} \]

Now, since the elevation is below sea level, we represent the depth as a negative elevation. Thus, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is:

\[ \text{Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo} = -70 \text{ feet} \]

So, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is \(-70\) feet (below sea level).
