Cora and Cameron are at a pool Carl dives in and touches the bottom of the pool 15 feet below the surface of the water Cameron is standing on a diving platform 2 feet above the service waiting for his turn what is the vertical distance between Carl's and and Cameron's feet

Answer 1

17 feet

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the vertical distance between Carl’s and Cameron’s feet

Since Carl is at the base of the pool, the distance between the water surface and the base of the pool will be 15 feet

We are also told they Cameron is on a diving platform 2 feet above;

So the distance between the two of them will be ;

15 feet + 2 feet = 17 feet
