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)Responses13 feet below sea level13 feet below sea level13 feet above sea level13 feet above sea level79 feet below sea level79 feet below sea level79 feet above sea level

Answer 1

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

Calculation: \[ 33 \text{ feet} - 46 \text{ feet} = -13 \text{ feet} \]

This means the elevation of base camp is 13 feet below sea level.

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