It's 20,602ft because its -282 (because its below sea level) and positive 20,320 (above sea level). So the distance between the two is 20,602 ft.

Answer:

20,602 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in the United States, the point of lowest elevation is 282 ft below sea level (Death Valley, California) and the point of highest elevation is 20,320 ft above sea level (Mount McKinley, Alaska).  

To find the distance between the given points, we will subtract the lowest elevation from the highest elevation as:

[tex]\text{Distance between two points}=20,320-(-282)[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance between two points}=20,320+282[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance between two points}=20,602[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between these points is 20,602 feet.
