To find the elevation above ground, we subtract the depth of the basement from the total length of the building:

70 feet - 15 feet = 55 feet

Therefore, the building's elevation above ground is 55 feet.

8⋅9−2⋅5

Remember to use the order of operations (PEMDAS).

Using the order of operations, we first perform the multiplication:

8 * 9 = 72
2 * 5 = 10

Next, we subtract the products:

72 - 10 = 62

Therefore, 8 * 9 - 2 * 5 equals 62.
