Sasha hikes into a canyon. She takes a break at the rest stations every 2/3 of a mile she descends. If she started at sea level and has hiked down to the fourth rest station, what is Sasha’s elevation now?
Select all that apply.

a. -8/3 miles below sea level.

Sasha started at sea level and has hiked down to the fourth rest station.

Now sea level is 0.

Sasha takes a break at the rest stations every 2/3 of a mile.

This means she is down to 4 rest points means 4 times 2/3

This becomes =

But the answer will be in negative as she is below 0.

So, correct answer is: a. -8/3 miles below sea level.

                                       Other way,

sea level is 0so if u go below sea level, u will end up with a negative number...and since she is hiking down, ur answer will be negative. The is a station every 2/3 mileand if she passed 4 of them

-2/3 * 4 = - 8/3 <=== her elevationanother answer could have been - 2 2/3, but that is not there

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)
