Answer:

13.8

Explanation:

His dive once he hits the water and goes below the surface water line is in the same direction as his dive off the platform. That's very important when you start to consider direction. So you add. Be sure and read this paragraph again.

Dive = platform + under the surface

Dive = 10 + 3.8

Dive = 13.8
