John lives on the side of a mountain and the elevation of his residence is 1025 feet above sea level. His brother lives in a deep valley that is 25 feet below sea level. What is the difference in altitude of the locations occupied by the two brothers?
1025ft above Sea Level is John
25ft below Sea Level is his Brother
1025ft + 25ft = 1050ft
Thats the difference in altitude
Isn't it 1025-1050and that will give you 1050 feet difference. Since -1025 is sea level and -25 is which you will need to add will give you 1050 ft difference. I think that my math is correct
