Answer 1

$\huge\red{\bold{\underline{\underline{ \: \: ♡ Answer ♡ \: \: }}}}$

Solution

The lowest point = 11,032 m

The highest point = 8,848 m

Let, distance above sea level be positive, so distance below sea level will be negative, as they are on opposite side of sea level.

Therefore, the vertical distance between two points

⇒ (8848−(−11032))m

⇒ [8848+11032]m

➠ 19880m

Hence, Verified

➣ Vertical distance between them is 19880 m
