To order the altitudes from highest to lowest, we first note the values:
1. 285 ft.
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft.
Now let's arrange them in order from highest to lowest:
1. 285 ft. (highest)
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft. (lowest)
Thus, the correct ordering using inequality symbols is:
**285 > 52 > -184 > -282**
Looking at the options, the correct one is:
**d. 285 > 52 > -184 > -282**
1. 285 ft.
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft.
Now let's arrange them in order from highest to lowest:
1. 285 ft. (highest)
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft. (lowest)
Thus, the correct ordering using inequality symbols is:
**285 > 52 > -184 > -282**
Looking at the options, the correct one is:
**d. 285 > 52 > -184 > -282**
