1. A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation? meters 2. A sea bird is 28 meters above the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation? meters 3. If the bird is directly above the fish, how far apart are they? meters

- 12 meters

28 meters

40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?

Position of fish = 12 meters below the surface = - 12 ;

Sea level = 0

Elevation = sea level + position

Elevation = 0 + (- 12)

= - 12 meters

2. A sea bird is 28 meters above the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?

Position of bird = 28 meters below the surface = (28) ;

Sea level = 0

Elevation = sea level + position

Elevation = 0 + 28

= 28 meters

3. If the bird is directly above the fish, how far apart are they?

If bird is directly above the fish;

Distance between bird and fish :

Elevation of bird - elevation of fish

28 - (-12)

28 + 12

= 40 Meters

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
