The town of Apple Valley, California is at an elevation of 2,900 feet above sea level. Death Valley, California has an elevation of 282 feet below sea level. What is the difference in elevation of the two towns?

The difference in elevation of the two towns is 3182 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's treat the elevation of sea level as 0 feet. That way, we can calculate the elevation of the two spots by using it as a measuring parameter.

Apple Valley is 2,900 feet above sea level. Hence, its elevation is (0 + 2,900) feet, which is 2,900 feet.

Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level. Hence, its elevation is (0 - 282) feet, which is -282 feet.

Hence, to calculate the difference, we subtract the elevation of Death Valley from that of Apple Valley, getting [2900 - (-282)] feet, which equals to (2900 + 282) feet which is 3182 feet.

Therefore, the difference in elevation of the two towns is 3182 feet.

a net is a diagram that shows a “flattened” view of a solid. in a net, each face and base is shown with all of its dimensions. a net can also serve as a pattern to build a three-dimensional solid.

a pyramid is a three-dimensional object with a base that is a polygon and triangular faces that meet at one vertex.

" the net of a triangular pyramid consists of four triangles. the base here we are given of the pyramid is a equilateral   triangle, and the lateral faces are also triangles "

i think asking google will you get the answer to that question
