Answer 1

To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from sea level (which is 0).

The depth of Lake Segundo is 56 feet, and since it is below sea level, we subtract this depth from 0.

Elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo = 0 - 56 = -56 feet

Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -56 feet below sea level.
