Answer:
[tex]Distance = 1032\ ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]CA = 282\ ft[/tex] below sea level
[tex]KY = 750\ ft[/tex] above sea level
Required
Determine the distance between them
The distance between them is calculated as thus:
[tex]Distance = KY - CA[/tex]
Because CA is below sea level, it's value will be negated;
So, we have:
[tex]Distance = 750\ ft - (-282\ ft)[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 750\ ft + 282\ ft[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 1032\ ft[/tex]
Hence, the distance between them is 1032 feet
