    From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

    From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

    From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

    From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

    Then the total vertical distance is ...

    35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

    107 feet is the total vertical distance the dolphin traveled.

    Explanation:

    Negative sign in front of the distance value is just to define the distance covered by dolphin underwater that is beneath the surface of the water

    Before jump

    Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water before coming out = 35 feet

    Vertical distance covered by dolphin after coming out of the surface of water = 27 feet

    After jump

    Vertical distance covered by dolphin above the surface of water after jumping = 27 feet

    Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water after jumping = 18 feet

    The total vertical distance the dolphin traveled:

    35 feet + 27 feet + 27 feet + 18 feet = 107 feet
