An engineer wants to build a house on a beach. Buildings on the shore must be built high enough to avoid flooding from oceans during storms. The highest wave height elevation measured for storms in the area is 15 feet. The support beams must reach a depth of 7 feet underground. Based on scientific knowledge, which of these support beams would be the best to use for the building?

Answer:

Support Beams 25 feet or greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Not only is this the common sense game but the highest wave height is 15 feet, because the beams must reach a depth of 7 feet underground.

15+7 = 22 feet

To avoid the highest wave it must be at least 22 feet.
