Question

Mt Whitney is 4392m at its highest point. Bombay Beach, California, is 86 m below sea level (-86). What is the difference between the altitude of my Whitney and the altitude of Bombay Beach

Answer 1

Answer:

4478 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude 1= A1= Mt Whitney is at 4392 m above sea level.

Altitude 2= A2= Bombay Beach is -86

Difference in Altitude= A3=?

A3 = A1 - A2 (because A1 is mentioned first and is the greater altitude)

A3 = 4392 - (-86)

= 4392 + 86

A3 = 4478 m
