Answer 1

To find the building's elevation above ground, we need to subtract the depth of the basement from the total length of the building.

70 feet - 15 feet = 55 feet

Therefore, the building's elevation above ground is 55 feet.

Answer 3

To simplify 8⋅9−2⋅5, we need to perform the multiplication before subtraction according to the order of operations (PEMDAS):

8⋅9 = 72
2⋅5 = 10

Now we can subtract:

72 - 10 = 62

Therefore, the simplified expression is 62.
