Chapter 1: Problem 73

Solve by writing a sum of signed numbers and adding. The Dead Sea is the lowest elevation on Earth, 1312 feet below sea level. What is the elevation of a person standing 712 feet above the Dead Sea?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The elevation of the person standing above the Dead Sea is -600 feet below sea level.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Dead Sea's Elevation

To begin, the elevation of the Dead Sea is recognized as -1312 feet because it is below sea level
02

Calculate the person's ascent

A person is known to be standing 712 feet above the Dead Sea. This altitude can also be expressed as +712.
03

Find the total elevation

To find the total elevation of the person from the sea level, the two values should be added together. So, -1312 (the depth of the dead sea) +712 (the height of the person above the dead sea) =-600 feet.
