Question

Garrett must inspect a bridge that goes over a river. He begins 18 feet above water level to inspect the lighting, descends 32 feet to inspect the base of the bridge underwater, then descends another 4 feet to check on the concrete anchoring the base. Which best represents Garrett’s position with respect to the water level?

Answer 1

We would need to see a list of answer choices to answer this properly but a few words to help you get started:

he begins at 18, so start your calculations with 18. going down, or descending, would be subtracting height, so subtract the height he descends from 18
