Answer:

2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the surface of the water is taken as the reference point. Let us take the depth of the swimmer below the water to be negative. Ali is 6 feet from the surface of the water so his height is -6. He then rose 4 feet so this need to be added to his initial height.

So, Ali has reached a height of [tex]-6+4=-2\ \text{feet}[/tex]. Hence, Ali is 2 feet from the surface of the water.
