A plane ascends to 10,000 feet and then ascends 15,000 feet. How many feet above the ground is the plane

The plane is at a total altitude of 10,000 feet + 15,000 feet = 25,000 feet above the ground.

To find out how many feet above the ground the plane is, we need to add the two ascents together:

10,000 feet + 15,000 feet = 25,000 feet

Therefore, the plane is 25,000 feet above the ground.
