Question

A rock climber starts at an elevation 630 feet above sea level and descends to a point 180 feet lower than his starting point. What is the rock climber's elevation?

Answer 1

is it negative or reg

Answer 2

To find the rock climber's elevation, we need to subtract the descent of 180 feet from their starting elevation of 630 feet.

630 ft - 180 ft = <<630-180=450>>450 ft.

Therefore, the rock climber's elevation is 450 feet above sea level.

Answer 3

I apologize for the earlier incorrect response. The rock climber's elevation is 450 feet above sea level, so it is a positive value.
