To find the magnitude of the distance between the two points, we need to calculate the absolute difference between their elevations.
Absolute difference = |20,310 - (-282)| = |20,310 + 282| = |20,592|
Therefore, the magnitude of the distance between the two points is 20,592 feet.
The lowest point in the United States is in Death Valley, California, at 282 feet below sea level. The highest point in the United States is on Denali, at 20,310 feet. Find the magnitude of the distance between the two points
