Question

The altitude of an airplane is decreasing at a rate of 40 feet per second. What is the change in altitude of the airplane over a period of 26 seconds?

Answer 1

-1040 feet

Explanation:

Since the altitude decreases at 40 feet per second, we can find the change in altitude by multiplying -40 by the number of seconds:

So, multiply -40 by 26:

-40(26)

= -1040

So, the change in altitude will be -1040 feet
