To find the depth of a well, a farmer lowers a 50-foot rope vertically into the
well. if 15 feet of rope remain above the well, how deep (in feet) is the well?

answer:

depth of the well is 35 feet

step-by-step explanation:

the total length of the rope that the farmer lowered vertically into the well in order to find its depth is 50 feet. if 15 feet of the rope remains above the well, the depth of the well would be the total length of the rope - the length of rope remaining above the well. therefore

depth of the well = 50 - 15 = 35 feet

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 62
