Question

James drove up 6,400 feet to a camp area on a mountain to meet his friends. They walked a trail that led to the mountain summit which was 1,800 feet above the camp area. They then returned to the camp area to rest before hiking on a trail that led to the mountain overlook which was 3,300 feet below the camp area. Use absolute value to determine the distance between the elevations of the summit and overlook. A) 2,500 feet B) 3,100 feet C) 4,600 feet D) 5,100 feet

Answer 1

The answer is D 5,100ft.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is correct.i.e., Absolute Distance Between Summit and Overlook  is 5100 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: James drove 6400 feet to camp.

           James and his friend walked 1800 feet to summit.

           James and his friend walked 3300 feet to overlook.

To find: Absolute Distance between Summit and Overlook

Distance Between camp area and Summit = 1800 feet

Distance Between Camp Area and Overlook = 3300 feet

⇒ Absolute Distance Between Summit and Overlook

     = Distance Between camp area and Summit + Distance Between

        Camp Area and Overlook

     = 1800 + 3300

     = 5100 feet

Therefore, Option D is correct.i.e., Absolute Distance Between Summit and Overlook  is 5100 feet.
