Aaron started at a height of 43 feet in the air. He jumped feet first from the cliff into the water below. The total

distance he traveled was 52 feet. How far underwater did Aaron travel?

Aaron travelled about 9 feet underwater

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to work with the information we are given in the question.

there are two stages of Aaron's travel. the first distance was in the air, and the second distance was in the water.

We are given both the total distance travelled and the distance travelled in the air.

To get the distance travelled in water, we subtract the distance travelled in the air from the total distance.

This will be 52 feet - 43 feet = 9 feet

Hence Aaron travelled about 9 feet underwater
