Answer 2

4000 feet

Explanation:

GIVEN: An airplane is flying at an elevation of
`3,750\text{ feet}` and lands on an airstrip
`250\text{ feet}` below sea level.

TO FIND: What is the difference between these two elevation.

SOLUTION:

Elevation of airplane while flying
`=3750\text{ feet}`

As airstrip is below sea level,

Elevation airplane while on airstrip
`=-250\text{ feet}`

Difference between elevations
`=\text{elevation when flying}-\text{elevations while on airstrip}`

`=3750-(-250)`

`=3750+250 \text{feet}`

`=4000\text{ feet}`

Hence difference between elevations is 4000 feet.
