To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we need to calculate the difference between the elevations of the two floors.
Distance = Elevation of Roof - Elevation of Basement
Distance = 37 ft - (-15 ft)
Distance = 37 ft + 15 ft
Distance = 52 ft
Therefore, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
The elevation of the basement floor in a building is -15 ft. The elevation of the roof is 37 feet. What is the distance from the basement floor to the roof?
