Why C is incorrect?
A. To find the range of elevations for Long Beach, we need to subtract the lowest elevation from the highest elevation.
Range of elevations for Long Beach = Highest elevation - Lowest elevation
Range of elevations for Long Beach = 360 ft - (-7 ft)
Range of elevations for Long Beach = 360 ft + 7 ft
Range of elevations for Long Beach = 367 ft
B. To find the range of elevations for New Orleans, we use the same formula as above.
Range of elevations for New Orleans = Highest elevation - Lowest elevation
Range of elevations for New Orleans = 25 ft - (-8 ft)
Range of elevations for New Orleans = 25 ft + 8 ft
Range of elevations for New Orleans = 33 ft
C. To identify which city has an average elevation of about 2 feet below sea level, we can compare the average elevation of the two cities with sea level (0 ft).
Long Beach's average elevation = (Highest elevation + Lowest elevation) / 2
Long Beach's average elevation = (360 ft + (-7 ft)) / 2
Long Beach's average elevation = 353 ft / 2
Long Beach's average elevation = 176.5 ft
New Orleans's average elevation = (Highest elevation + Lowest elevation) / 2
New Orleans's average elevation = (25 ft + (-8 ft)) / 2
New Orleans's average elevation = 17 ft / 2
New Orleans's average elevation = 8.5 ft
Comparing the average elevations with sea level:
- Long Beach's average elevation is 176.5 ft, which is above sea level.
- New Orleans's average elevation is 8.5 ft, which is below sea level.
Therefore, New Orleans is the city with an average elevation of about 2 feet below sea level.
