2. The Salton Sink in California is approximately 215 feet below sea level. Which of the following best describes the location of the Salton Sink as it relates to sea level?

a –215
b 0
c +215
d +2150




Answer :

This is a bit of a guess, but I think probably a) +4 and also a) -215

We need to find the best way to represent the numbers.

The score will be best represented by [tex]+4[/tex]

The depth of the Salton Sink will be best described as [tex]-215[/tex].

[tex]4[/tex] under par means that it took [tex]4[/tex] less strokes than the par of the course to complete the course.

This represented by [tex]-4[/tex]

The negative sign comes first.

If the score is [tex]4[/tex] over par then it took [tex]4[/tex] more strikes than the par of the course.

This score will be best represented by [tex]+4[/tex]

Let, us take the surface sea level as [tex]0[/tex].

So, the depth below the sea level will be negative and above it will be positive.

Hence, the depth of the Salton Sink will be best described as [tex]-215[/tex].
