Question

death valey CA is 282 feet below sea levle. black mountain, KYis 750 feet above sea levle how many feet is black mountain from death valey

Answer 1

`Distance = 1032\ ft`

Explanation:

Given

`CA = 282\ ft` below sea level

`KY = 750\ ft` above sea level

Required

Determine the distance between them

The distance between them is calculated as thus:

`Distance = KY - CA`

Because CA is below sea level, it's value will be negated;

So, we have:

`Distance = 750\ ft - (-282\ ft)`

`Distance = 750\ ft + 282\ ft`

`Distance = 1032\ ft`

Hence, the distance between them is 1032 feet
