Question

from the top of a mountain to the valley below is 4,392 feet. if the valley is 93 feet below sea level l, what is the height of the mountain

Answer 1

Height of Mountain = 4392 ft - 93ft = 4299ft

Answer 2

4299ft

Explanation:

Given the distance between the top of a mountain to the valley below to be 4,392 feet, this means:

Distance between the top of a mountain to the valley below = distance between the top of a mountain and the sea + distance between the sea level and the valley below the sea... (1)

Given the height of valley below the sea level = 93ft

Height of the mountain = distance between the top of a mountain and the sea.

Using equation (1)

4392ft = distance between the top of a mountain and the sea + 93ft

distance between the top of a mountain and the sea = 4392ft-93ft

= 4299ft

Wince the height of the mountain =

distance between the top of a mountain and the sea

Height of the mountain = 4299ft
