Question

City A has an elevation of 3447 feet above sea level while city B has an elevation of 86 feet below sea level.  How much higher is City A than City B?

Answer 1

To find the difference in height, subtract the height of city B from city A.

 

City A - City B = 3447 - (-86) = 3447 + 86 = 3533.

 

Hope that helps!
