Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

The initial elevation is 20m

According to the question :

If it changes to 16m, then the final elevation of the bird is 16 m.

However, in some texts, the question goes thus;

A bird starts at 20m and changes 16m? The bird's final elevation is?

In this case, the initial height = 20m

Change in height = 16 m (positive means ascension)

Hence,

initial height + change in height

20 m + 16 m

= 36m
