-56ft

Since it is BELOW sea level it would be considered a negative number. If it were ABOVE sea level then it would be a positive number. Another way to think about this:

Above Sea Level = +

Below Sea Level = -

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

Answer:

-56

Explanation:

That is because the 56 is below sea level, not above it, so it would be negative 56

Hope that helps!
