Answer :
Final answer:
The correct option is 3) The tide range is calculated by subtracting the low tide level from the high tide level. In this case, a high tide of +10.1 feet minus a low tide of +2.1 feet yields a tide range of 8 feet.
Explanation:
To find the tide range, we subtract the measurement of the low tide from that of the high tide. Given a high tide at +10.1 feet and a low tide at +2.1 feet:
- High tide = +10.1 feet
- Low tide = +2.1 feet
We calculate the tide range by taking the difference:
Tide range = High tide - Low tide = 10.1 feet - 2.1 feet = 8 feet.
Therefore, the tide range is 8 feet, which corresponds to option 2.
