hike?

Respuesta :

Answer:

383ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

  Elevation = 240ft at the start

  Elevation at the end = -143ft

Unknown:

Change in elevation:

Solution:

The change in elevation is the difference between the two hiking milestone;

  change in elevation = Elevation at the start  - Elevation at the end

                                    = 240ft  - (-)143ft

                                   = 240 + 143

                                    = 383ft
