A picture of a mountain range and ocean near it is shown. The top height is 4000 feet and the bottom height is -2000 feet. About how many feet is it from the top of the tall mountain to the bottom of the ocean?

Answer 1

To find the distance from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the ocean, you need to calculate the difference in height between the two points.

The top height of the mountain is 4000 feet, and the bottom height of the ocean is -2000 feet.

To find the total distance, you can subtract the bottom height from the top height:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Top Height} - \text{Bottom Height} \] \[ \text{Distance} = 4000 - (-2000) \] \[ \text{Distance} = 4000 + 2000 \] \[ \text{Distance} = 6000 \text{ feet} \]

So, the distance from the top of the tall mountain to the bottom of the ocean is approximately 6000 feet.
