A hawk was flying at an elevation of 215 feet, looking for new hunting ground. It rose 95 feet as it continued to search.

Question

What is the elevation of the hawk now?
feet

Answer 1

To find the new elevation of the hawk after it rose 95 feet from an initial elevation of 215 feet, you simply add the two elevations together:

\[ 215 \text{ feet} + 95 \text{ feet} = 310 \text{ feet} \]

Therefore, the elevation of the hawk now is 310 feet.
