the bottom floor of a parking garage has an elevation of -36 feet. The top floor is 124 feet higher. What is the elevation of the top floor.
124 - 36 = _____ feet
To find the elevation of the top floor, we can add the height difference between the two floors to the elevation of the bottom floor.
Given:
Elevation of the bottom floor = -36 feet
Height difference between the floors = 124 feet
To calculate the elevation of the top floor:
Elevation of the top floor = Elevation of the bottom floor + Height difference between the floors
Elevation of the top floor = (-36 feet) + (124 feet)
To compute this, we need to add -36 and 124. The sum of -36 and 124 is 88.
Therefore, the elevation of the top floor is 88 feet.
