Answer:

≈ 345.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a right triangle formed by Bonnie's height (h) the ground and the angle of elevation.

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan20° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{h}{950}$ ( multiply both sides by 950 )

950 × tan20° = h , thus

h ≈ 345.8 ft ( to 1 dec. place )

A diver starts at the surface of the water and travels 8 feet to the bottom.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

On the graph B, at 0 seconds the graph will be at $y=0.$

The graph will be going down until 2 seconds, when the diver reaches her deepest point. At 2 seconds the height of the graph will be -8ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In graph B we are measuring the distance from the surface, that is we are setting the surface to be y=0. Thus if the diver reaches her deepest point 8ft down, she will be below y=0 and at -8ft.

Thus, in shape the graph B will be similar to graph A, but it will be shifted downed by 8ft.
