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?

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