Question

A hike starts at an elevation of 30 meters below sea level and ends at a point 9500 meters higher than the start point. How high would you be at the end of the hike?

Answer 1

You would be 9470 meters above sea level

Answer 2

Answer : The 9530 meters high you would be at the end of the hike.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

The height below sea level = -30 meters

The total height of the hike = 9500 meters

Now we have to determine the height when we are at the end of the hike.

Height when we are at the end of the hike = Total height of the hike - Height below sea level

Height when we are at the end of the hike = 9500 meters - (-30 meters)

Height when we are at the end of the hike = 9500 meters + 30 meters

Height when we are at the end of the hike = 9530 meters

Thus, 9530 meters high you would be at the end of the hike.
