From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.
From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.
From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.
From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.
Then the total vertical distance is ...
35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft
Answer:
107 feet is the total vertical distance the dolphin traveled.
Explanation:
Negative sign in front of the distance value is just to define the distance covered by dolphin underwater that is beneath the surface of the water
Before jump
Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water before coming out= 35 feet
Vertical distance covered by dolphin after coming out of the surface of water = 27 feet
After jump
Vertical distance covered by dolphin above the surface of water after jumping = 27 feet
Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water after jumping = 18 feet
The total vertical distance the dolphin traveled:
35 feet + 27 feet + 27 feet + 18 feet = 107 feet
