Answer 1

To calculate Mount Everest's height in kilometers, divide its height in feet, 29,028 feet, by the conversion factor, 3,281 feet per kilometer, resulting in approximately 8.848 kilometers. This conversion shows the height of the tallest mountain in metric units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked about the elevation of a country's highest and lowest points. To provide the height of Mount Everest in kilometers when given its height in feet, we use the fact that 1 kilometer equals 3,281 feet. The calculation proceeds as follows:

1. First, take the height of Mount Everest in feet, which is 29,028 feet.
   
2. Next, divide this figure by the conversion factor 3,281 feet per kilometer.
   
3. Mount Everest's height in kilometers is approximately 8.848 kilometers (29,028 ft / 3,281 ft/km).
   

This calculates the tallest mountain on Earth in a different unit of measurement, demonstrating the conversion between feet and kilometers.
