The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak 505050 meters above the ground. Then, it drops 656565 meters into an underground tunnel.

What is your question?

To find the total change in height for the Tunnel of Fear ride, we need to calculate the sum of the climb and the drop.

The climb is given as 505050 meters above the ground, indicating an increase in height.
The drop is given as 656565 meters into an underground tunnel, indicating a decrease in height.

To find the total change in height, we need to add the climb and the drop:

Total change in height = Climb + Drop

Total change in height = 505050 meters + (-656565) meters

When we add a positive value and a negative value, we can think of it as subtracting the absolute value of the negative value from the positive value:

Total change in height = 505050 meters - 656565 meters

To calculate the subtraction, we can start by subtracting the absolute values:

Total change in height = abs(505050) - abs(656565)

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line. So, abs(505050) is equal to 505050 and abs(656565) is equal to 656565.

Total change in height = 505050 - 656565

Now we can subtract:

Total change in height = -151515 meters

Therefore, the total change in height for the Tunnel of Fear ride is -151515 meters. This indicates that the ride decreases in height by 151515 meters.
