Griffin Watson · Answer 1

If its in the opposite direction but the same distance from sea level then its located at - 20 feet or 20 feet below sea level.

Wade Charles · Answer 2

The person in the opposite direction is at - 20 feet from sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Susan is at 20 feet above sea level.

So, the person located at the same distance from sea level but in the opposite direction, is actually located at - 20 feet from sea level.

Remember that opposite direction refers to opposite sign of the magnitude, when we talk about vectorial magnitudes, signs indicate orientation.
