Answer 1

a) -26 ft

b) 3,148 ft lower

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the following data set:

Checkpoint 1: 792 feet

Checkpoint 2: -164 feet

Checkpoint 3: 2,446 feet

Checkpoint 4: 3,055 feet

Checkpoint 5: -93

a) The top of a hill rises 138 feet Checkpoint 2

This is represented as:

`\begin{gathered} Altitude=-164+138 \\ Altitude=-26ft \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the altitude of the top of the hill is -26 feet

b) How much lower is Checkpoint 5 than Checkpoint 4

This is shown below:

`\begin{gathered} Distance=3,055-(-93) \\ Distance=3,055+93 \\ Distance=3,148ft \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Checkpoint 5 is 3,148 feet lower than Checkpoint 4
