Question

A heron is perched in a tree 100 feet above sea level. Directly below the heron, a pelican is flying 42 feet above sea level. Directly below the birds is a trout, swimming 15 feet below sea level. Select all the true statements. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is 58 feet. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is -58 feet. The distance between the heights of the heron and pelican is 58 feet. The difference in height between the pelican and the trout is 57 feet. The differepce in height between the pelican and the trout is - 57 feet. The distance between the heights of the pelican and the trout is -57 feet

Answer 1

,Answer: We have a heron, a pelican, and a trout, all are in this scenario as follows.

(I) The difference in height between pelican and heron is 58ft

(ii) The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is -58

(iii) The distance between the heights of the heron and pelican is 58

(iv) The difference in height between the pelican and trout is 57 feet

(v) The difference in height between a pelican and the trout is -57 ft

(vi) The distance between the heights of the pelican and the trout is -57ft

Let us analyze these statements

(i) False, Because the difference is Negative 58ft

(ii) True. Because it is -58ft and it is the answer.

(iii) True, It is true because that is the answer.

(iv) True, Because that is the true answer, we get it by taking the algebraic difference.

(v) False, Because it is negative

(vi) False, Because distance is not a vector quantity.

This is the answer!
