Question

Helene, a hiker, starts at an elevation of 33 feet above sea level and descends 46 feet during her hike to base camp. Which describes the elevation of base camp?(1 point) Responses 13 feet below sea level 13 feet below sea level 13 feet above sea level 13 feet above sea level 79 feet below sea level 79 feet below sea level 79 feet above sea level 79 feet above sea level

Answer 1

To find the elevation of base camp, you start with Helene's initial elevation of 33 feet above sea level and subtract the 46 feet that she descends.

Here's the calculation:

33 feet (above sea level) - 46 feet (descent) = -13 feet

This means that base camp is 13 feet below sea level.

So, the correct description of the elevation of base camp is **13 feet below sea level**.
