Lake Eyre, which has the lowest elevation in Australia, is 16 meters below sea level. The Taieri Plain, the lowest place in New Zealand, is 2 meters below sea level. How much higher is the Taieri Plain than Lake Eyre?

To solve the problem, Elise subtracted -2 - -16 and came up with an answer of –18 meters. Is Elise correct? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer:

Any statement that ends up giving an absolute value of elevation below the sea level = 49 ft is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although, the statements are missing from the question, a profound explanation will give a clear idea of what the answers can be.

It is given that Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia.

It is also given that Lake Eyre has an elevation of –49 feet. (Taking note that this elevation is given with sea level tagged at 0 ft)

Hence, the absolute value statement that describes how far below sea level Lake Eyre is has to invlove

|-49| = 49 feet.

So, any statement that ends up giving an absolute value of elevation below the sea level = 49 ft is the correct answer.
