I just need to know what elevation did Winston reach during his deepest dive?

20.2 * -2.5ft = -50.5ft

Hence, Winston reach -50.5 feet during his deepest dive.

If your question was this: On Wednesday at 9 a.m., Winston went diving. Near the beach, the ocean’s surface was at an elevation of -2.5 feet. During his deepest dive, Winston reached an elevation that was 20 1/5 times the elevation of the ocean’s surface. What elevation did Winston reach during his deepest dive? Then that should be your answer                                         I had this question too, and this is what i got

Hope this helps Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas :D

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
