There are some areas of land on Earth that are below sea level. Imagine you are at the Dead Sea in Africa, which has an elevation of about −1,410 feet (1,410 feet below sea level). You then climb up 125 feet. What is your new elevation?(1 point)

Question

Responses

−1,535 feet
negative 1,535 feet

−1,285 feet
negative 1,285 feet

−1,335 feet
negative 1,335 feet

1,285 feet

Answer 1

To find your new elevation after climbing up 125 feet from the Dead Sea's elevation of -1,410 feet, you can simply add the height you climbed to the current elevation:

\[ -1,410 \text{ feet} + 125 \text{ feet} = -1,285 \text{ feet} \]

So, your new elevation would be −1,285 feet (or negative 1,285 feet). The correct response is:

−1,285 feet
negative 1,285 feet

Answer 2

-1,285 feet is the answer

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct! After climbing up 125 feet from the elevation of -1,410 feet at the Dead Sea, the new elevation is indeed -1,285 feet. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
