Question

The lowest point on Earth is Challenger Deep, at the bottom of the Marina Trench: 35,797 feet below sea level. The highest point is the summit of Mount Everest: 29,029 feet above sea level. What is the distance, in feet, between Challenger Deep and Mount Everest? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: 64826 feet

Explanation:

The distance, in feet, between Challenger Deep and Mount Everest will be calculated as the difference between the highest point of Mount Everest and the bottom of the Marina Trench. This will be:

= 29029 - (-35797)

= 29029 + 35797

= 64826 feet
