Answer :
Considering the situation described, it is found that the elevation of Ray is of -38.4 meters, that is, 38.4 meters below the surface of the ocean.
What is Ray's elevation?
In this problem, Ray's elevation is given relative to Jim.
We have that:
- Jim is at an elevation of 29.23 meters below the surface of the ocean, that is, an elevation of -29.23 meters.
- Ray is 9.17 meters deeper then Jim, hence to find Ray's elevation we have to subtracted 9.17 meters from Jim's elevation.
Then:
-29.23 - 9.17 = -38.4.
The elevation of Ray is of -38.4 meters, that is, 38.4 meters below the surface of the ocean.
