Question

Frank is in an airplane flying at 14,080 ft above sea level. He wants to land the airplane on a runway that is 22 ft below sea level. What was the total vertical distance between his current height and the runway?

Answer 1

The total distance between the airplane and the runway is 14102 ft.

The total height distance between the airplane and the runway can be solved through the equation:

14,080 ft + 22ft = 14102 ft
Since the runway is below sea level, it adds to the total distance.
