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.

Answer 1

To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, you can subtract the elevation of the basement from the elevation of the roof.

The elevation of the basement floor is -15 feet, and the elevation of the roof is 37 feet.

You can calculate the distance as follows:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Elevation of Roof} - \text{Elevation of Basement} \] \[ \text{Distance} = 37 - (-15) \] \[ \text{Distance} = 37 + 15 \] \[ \text{Distance} = 52 \text{ feet} \]

So, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
