3.
The subterranean roller coaster rises up to 50.6 feet above the ground before dropping 100.7 feet into an underground cavern. Describe the depth of the coaster at the bottom of the cavern.

Answer 1

Explanation:

so, from the highest point above ground to the ground is 50.6 ft.

that is included in the 100.7 ft of total vertical size of the roller coaster.

and that means the remainder of the 100.7 ft (minus the 50.6 ft) is the vertical size under ground (depth) :

100.7 - 50.6 = 50.1 ft depth at the bottom of the cavern.
