In the Manchester Building, the elevation of the basement floor is -16 ft. The elevation of the roof is 37 feet. What is the distance from the basement floor to the roof? (1 point) Responses 53 53 21 21 -21 -21 -53

Answer 1

The distance from the basement floor to the roof can be found by subtracting the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof:

37 ft - (-16 ft) = 37 ft + 16 ft = 53 ft

Thus, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 53 feet.
