Spider-Man ascends a building to its peak. The peak is 676 ft above sea level. Spider-Man then descends 834 ft to face the Chameleon. Find Spider- Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon.
Choose the correct answer
A. 1510 ft above sea level
B. 158 Ft above sea level
C. 1510 Ft below sea level
D. 158 ft below sea level
To find Spider-Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon, we need to add the elevation at the peak to the elevation after descending.
Elevation at peak = 676 ft above sea level
Descent = -834 ft (as Spider-Man is descending)
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = Elevation at peak + Descent
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = 676 ft + (-834 ft)
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = 676 ft - 834 ft
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = -158 ft
Therefore, Spider-Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon is 158 ft below sea level.
Answer: D. 158 ft below sea level
To find Spider-Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon, we need to add the elevation of the peak (676 ft) to the elevation he descended (834 ft).
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = 676 ft + (-834 ft)
Since adding a negative number is the same as subtracting, we can rewrite the equation as:
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = 676 ft - 834 ft
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Elevation after meeting the Chameleon = -158 ft
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 158 ft below sea level.
To find Spider-Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon, we need to subtract the descent of 834 ft from the initial elevation of 676 ft.
To do this, we can use the following calculation:
Initial Elevation - Descent = Final Elevation
676 ft - 834 ft = -158 ft
Therefore, Spider-Man's elevation after meeting the Chameleon is 158 ft below sea level.
The correct answer is option D: 158 ft below sea level.
