Carl 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 surface, waiting for his turn. what is the vertical distance between carl's hand and cameron's feet? enter your answer in the box. feet

17 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Carl dives in and touches the bottom of the pool, 15 feet below the surface of the water.

The elevation of Carl's hand would be .

Cameron is standing on a diving platform 2 feet above the surface. The elevation of Cameron's feet would be .

The vertical distance between Carl's hand and Cameron's feet would be difference of both altitudes.

Therefore, the vertical distance between Carl's hand and Cameron's feet is 17 ft.
