9. A open-sea diver dove down 42 ft. to harvest sponges. After rising 28 ft. how far was the diver from the surface? (Hint: Drawing a diagram may help you answer this.)

14 feet away from the surface. -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver was 42 feet below the surface.

He went up 28 feet.

We have to find out how far he is from the surface.

All you would do is subtract 42 - 28.

This would be 14 feet.

This means the diver is 14 feet away from the surface.
