Answer 1

To find the change in height, we can calculate the difference between the height of the platform and the depth in the water.

1. The height of the platform is 10 meters.
2. The depth in the water is 6 meters (below the water surface).

The change in height can be calculated as follows:

Change in height = Height of the platform - Depth in the water Change in height = 10 meters - (-6 meters) = 10 + 6 = 16 meters

So the change in height is 16 meters.
