I agree with bobpursley. None are correct.
There is a correct answer...it's 41
what is the total length of the tree from root tip to top?
13 feet below ground
elevation above ground is 28 feet
28+13=41
thank you little kids lolllllll
its 15 because -13+28= 15. idk. hope this helps
damon said none is right which is worng than antisepticeye said it was 41 and i agree with her

this is usa test prep for you guys right?
41 feet

The distance equals the absolute value of the difference of two numbers, -13 and 28.

-13 - 28 = -41

and,

|-41| = 41
