Question

A driver is currently at an elevation of -350 feet write an absolute value statement to express the drivers distance in feet from sea level then interpret the results written the context of the situation

Answer 1

Driver is 350 Below sea Level

Explanation:

Driver has Elevation of -350 meters, negative indicates below sea level.

Therefore it can be inferred that the driver is 350 below sea level.

Answer 2

`d = |h - 0\,ft|`, The driver is 350 feet below sea level.

Explanation:

The distance of the driver from the sea level is given by the following expression:

`d = |h - 0\,ft|`

`d = |-350\,ft-0\,ft|`

`d = |-350\,ft|`

`d = 350 \,ft`

The driver is 350 feet below sea level.
