The deepest point of a lake is -922 feet relative to its surface. the deepest point is 11,542 feet above sea level. what is the elevation of the surface of the lake? use absolute value to explain.

Deepest Point ===> 11,542

Deepest Point of Lake Relative to it's Surface > -922

Absolute Value Explained:

d = 11,542 + | -922 |

Solve:

d = 11542 + | -922 |

Simplifies to:

d = 12,464

Depth > 12,464

Absolute Value: > d = 11,542 + | -922 |

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
