The highest point in the world is Mount Everest at 29,035 feet above sea level. The lowest point in the world is The Dead Sea at 1,349 feet below sea level. What is the difference in elevation between these two points?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The difference in elevation between these two points is 30,384 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I decided to let the 1,349 below sea level represent a negative number, since, in this context, it's below 0, or sea level.

This gives us the equation 29,035 - (-1,349) = ?

Since we need to find the difference in elevation, we will need to subtract the two values.

29,035 - (1,349) = 30,384

Hope this helps.
