Mt. Everest, the highest elevation in Asia, is 29,028 feet above sea level. The Dead Sea, the lowest elevation, is 1,312 feet below sea level. What is the difference between these two elevations?Explanation:
Mt. Everest, the highest elevation in Asia, is 29,028 feet above sea level. The Dead Sea, the lowest elevation, is 1,312 feet below sea level. What is the difference between these two elevations?
The difference between the two elevations is 30,340 feet.
Height of Mt. Everest(as it is above sea level) = + 29,028 feet
Height of dead sea (as it is below the sea level) = - 1,312 feet
So, the difference these two elevations= 29,028 - (- 1,312)
As the two are in opposite direction, one being above sea level and other being below sea level,
To find the difference between these two elevations, we should add the two figures i.e.
29,028 + 1,312 = 30,340 feet.
