Answer:

Distance = 110.5 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The basement floor is at an elevation of −10.5 feet

The second story floor has an elevation of 121 feet.

We need to find the distance between the basement floor and the second story floor.

Distance = -10.5 + 121

= 110.5 feet

So, the distance between the basement floor and the second story floor is 110.5 cm.
