Answer:
To find the difference in elevation between Missy's house and the lake, we need to calculate the total vertical distance from Missy's house to the lake.
Given:
Missy's house elevation = 45 yards
Lake elevation = -13 feet (since it's below sea level)
First, let's convert Missy's house elevation to feet:
1 yard = 3 feet
Missy's house elevation = 45 yards * 3 feet/yard = 135 feet
Now, the total difference in elevation can be calculated by subtracting the lake's elevation from Missy's house elevation:
Total difference = Missy's house elevation - Lake elevation
Total difference = 135 feet - (-13 feet)
Total difference = 135 feet + 13 feet
Total difference = 148 feet
So, the difference in elevation between Missy's house and the lake is 148 feet.
