The level of the top of the water in the ocean is considered to be at an altitude of zero (0) feet.

 The ocean floor at a particular dive site is - 20 feet.

 A diver is located at - 5 feet at the same site.

 The captain of a boat is located at an altitude of 15 feet, directly above the diver.

Determine whether each statement is correct. Select True/False for each statement. (write T or F)

A. The distance from the captain to the diver is greater than the distance from the top of the water to the ocean floor.

B. The distance from the captain to the top of the water is the same as the distance from the diver to the ocean floor.

C. When the diver swims to - 10 feet, the diver will be the same distance below the top of the water as the captain is above the top of the water.

D. When the diver swims to - 10 feet, the diver's distance to the ocean floor will be equal to diver's distance to the top of the water.
