Question

Three baby penguins and their father were sitting on an iceberg 0.50.50, point, 5 meters above the surface of the water. The father dove down 4.74.74, point, 7 meters from the iceberg into the water to catch dinner for his kids. What is the father penguin's position relative to the surface of the water?

Answer 1

The question is really quite easy. You just have to find the distance between the sea level and the point down the water. Make an illustration about the problem to visualize it better. The picture is shown in the attached picture. The distance we want to get is denoted as x. The solution is as follows:

x = 4.7 - 0.5 = 4.2 m

Hope this helps!
