Alex is practicing his dives at a pool He dives from a diving board that is 15 feet above the?

Question

...  surface of the water His dive takes him 15 feet below the surface of the water Alex says that the two distances are opposites, so his total dive distance is 15 1 (215) 5 0 feet Are the two distances opposites? Is Alex&rsquo;s total dive distance correct? Explain your reasoning

Answer

This makes no sense. "Dive" can be the distance above the surface or the distance beneath the surface, but "total dive" is meaningless. There is now way to know if this is correct or not. It is just meaningless.
