Answer 1

Answer:

19,759 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the highest point is 8848 metres above sea level and lowest point is 10911 below sea level.

So, we must add both of these to find out the vertical distance

So, 8,848 + 10,911

                 1  0  9  1   1

           +       8   8  4  8

                1  9   7   5  9

As shown above the sum is 19,759

So, the vertical distance between the highest and lowest point is 19,759 metres or 19.759 kilometres.
