Answer :
Final answer:
The total distance traveled by the diver, who starts 20 feet above sea level and goes 8 feet below sea level, is 28 feet. Option B.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the total distance a diver travels from dropping out of an airplane to diving into the sea. The diver starts 20 feet above sea level and dives 8 feet below sea level. To calculate the total distance traveled, we add the distance the diver descends to reach sea level (20 feet) to the distance the diver goes below sea level (8 feet). Therefore, the total distance traveled by the diver is 28 feet.
