Answer:

The elevation had to drop 4478 ft.

Explanation:

The hike started 4352 ft above sea level and then their endpoint was 126 ft below sea level. So you would add 4352 + 126 to get the total elevation that dropped.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4,488 ft

Explanation:

Elevation means height. Drop means the decrease. Below sea level means the height will be negative. So you find the drop by subtracting the final position (-126 ft) from the starting position (4,362 ft).

4,362 ft - (-126 ft)

When you subtract a negative it is the same as adding a positive so...

4,362 ft + 126 ft = 4,488ft

So, there was a drop in elevation of 4,488 ft.
