Respuesta :

Answer: 48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver is already at a depth of -18 relative to sea level when

descending 30 more feet we reach a depth of -48, in order to return to

sea level the diver must ascend 48 feet.

Answer:

48 feet

Imagine this is a line that measures sea level

|     0; land area

|

|      sea level

|

|      (18 feet below the sea level where the diver is originally)

|

|

|      (the diver is here when he descends 30 feet down)

Hence, the total distance travelled from the sea level: 18 + 30 = 48 feet

This is the distance, 48 feet above the diver has to go to reach sea level.
