A fisherman drops a fishing line into the sea. The end of the fishing pole is at an elevation of 5 feet. The hook that is in the water is at an elevation of -2 feet.cessmentThe number line shows their heights. Sea level is represented by 0.1. Write an absolute value expression telling how many feet the end of the fishingpole is above sea level. Evaluate the expression.2. Write an absolute value expression telling how many feet the hook is below sealevel. Evaluate the expression. 3. If the fishing line goes straight down into the water, what is the distance betweenthe end of the pole and the hook? Explain how you found this distance.

Respuesta :

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

sea level = 0 ft

end of fishing pole = 5 ft

hook = -2 ft

Step 02:

absolute value:

distance between sea level and the end of fishing pole:

| 5 - 0| = | 5 | = 5 ft

distance between hook and sea level:

|0 - (-2)| = | 0 + 2| = |2| = 2 ft

distance between hook and the end of the fishing pole:

| 5 - (-2)| = | 5 + 2| = |7| = 7 ft

To find out the distance we must consider the entire interval.

That is the full solution.
