Answer 1

the elevation should be
14494-(-282) =
14776 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Total difference in elevation between the two places is 14,776 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question,

We have been given that the highest elevation in California is 14,494 feet and lowest elevation is -282 feet

We need to find the total difference in elevation between these two places?

According to the question,

Difference in elevation between these two places = Highest elevation - lowest elevation

Here highest elevation = 14,494 feet

        lowest elevation = -282 feet

Therefore, Difference between the two places = 14494 - (-282)

                  Difference between the two places = 14494 + +282

                  Difference between the two places = 14776 feet

Hence, total difference in elevation between the two places is 14,776 feet.
