Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

b. -150

Explanation:

We usually take elevation to be positive above sea level, and negative below sea level. If the elevation is below sea level, it is negative. If it is within 200 ft of sea level, the magnitude of the negative number is 200 or less. That is, the elevation must satisfy ...

-200 ≤ elevation < 0

The only answer choice in that range is -150.

Ethan's elevation in feet could be -150.
