Question

The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak 50 meters above the ground. Then, it drops 65 meters into an underground tunnel.

What is the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground?

Answer 1

-15 meters.. that is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: -15 meters

Explanation:

Given: The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak above the ground = 50 meters or +50 meters

Then, it drops into an underground tunnel = 65 meters or -65 meters

Thus, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= +50-65=-15 meters

Hence, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= -15 meters.
