Darren was on a cliff 1189 ft. above sea level. He fell into the lake below, he went 12 ft. under water. how?

Question

...how far did he fall?

Answer 1

Depends on how high above or below sea level is the lake... If this is NOT a trick question, he fell 1189' + 12' = 1201'

Answer 2

Depends on how tall the cliff was. A person in Denver is over 5000 feet above sea level, but they can still be standing on the ground!

Answer 3

not enough info is given. sure he could be 1189 ft above sea level but the lake could be 1179 ft above sealevel or maybe the lake is 50 ft above sealevel or maybe the lake is below sea level. no answer can be found
not tricking me

Answer 4

assuming the lake was at sea level the answer is easy, but not knowing what level the lake was at compared to sea level, you have no idea how far he fell.......and was Darren a family member, is that why you ask in the section?

Answer 5

if he fell into the water he would be going in to the negative #'s so you would add 1189+12=1201ft. i think i am not sure i am in the 6th grade

Answer 6

1201

Answer 7

1201 feet, first you are asking these questions in the wrong place. Second I really do not believe that you do not know the answer. These are like grade 2 questions.

Answer 8

12 ft under water?? or maybe 1189ft above sea level. the 12ft is not included...cos its under water

Answer 9

complicated issue look into at the search engines that will might help
