Question

An architectural drawing of a building shows the elevation of the basement floor to be â12 feet. the elevation of the roof is 32 feet. what is the total distance from the roof to the basement floor?

Answer 1

The total distance from the roof to the basement floor is 20 feet. If the elevation of the basement floor is 12 feet and the elevation of the roof is 32 feet, then you must subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof to get the distance between them.
