Ping dove off a 10 meter plataforma he reached a depth of 6 meters in the water what was the difference in height

Answer 1

To find the difference in height from the top of the platform to the depth reached in the water, you can subtract the depth from the height of the platform.

1. Height of the platform: 10 meters
2. Depth reached in the water: 6 meters

The difference in height is:

\[ \text{Difference in height} = \text{Height of platform} - \text{Depth reached} = 10 , \text{meters} - (-6 , \text{meters}) \]

Since depth is considered negative in this context, the calculation becomes:

\[ \text{Difference in height} = 10 + 6 = 16 , \text{meters} \]

Therefore, the difference in height is 16 meters.
