Given:
The altitude for checkpoint 2 is -47.
The altitude for checkpoint 3 is -216.
The altitude for checkpoint 4 is 2,001.
Required:
a) we need to find the altitude of checkpoint 4 higher than checkpoint 2.
b) we need to find the altitude of the top of the hill when that rises 329 feet about the checkpoint 3.
Explanation:
a)
The difference between 2001 and -47 is
[tex]2001-(-47)=2001+47=2048.[/tex]
Checkpoint 4 is 2048 ft higher than checkpoint 2.
b)
Add 329 to the altitude of the checkpoint 3.
[tex]-216+329=113[/tex]
The altitude of the top of the hill is 113 ft.
Final answer:
a) Checkpoint 4 is 2048 ft higher than checkpoint 2.
b) The altitude of the top of the hill is 113 ft.
