got it right

Answer 2

Statement C is not true.

Explanation:

In the construction work sketch

A. the distance of the ground level to the pipe level is 2.5 feet. We can assume that this statement is true as we do not have the drawing.

B. The distance of the pipe level to the rope is 1 foot. Again we can assume that this statement is true as we do not have the drawing.

C. The distance between the ground level to the rope is 5 feet. Here we have to consider this statement as false if we assume statements A and B are true.

This distance will be (1+2.5) =3.5 feet.

D. The distance from the ground level to the pipe level is 1 foot less than the distance from the ground level to the rope. This statement is again true if we consider statements A and B are true.

Therefore, statement C is not true. (Answer)
