An apple tree is tall. Its roots extend below the ground. What is the difference in elevation between the top of the apple tree and the tips of its roots? A 5.35 meters 5.35\ \mathrm{meters}
The difference in elevation between the top of the apple tree and the tips of its roots is 5.35 meters.
To find the difference in elevation between the top of the apple tree and the tips of its roots, we need to subtract the length of the tree's roots from the height of the tree.
Let's assume the height of the apple tree is "h" meters, and the length of its roots is "r" meters.
So, the difference in elevation is given by:
Difference in elevation = height of the tree - length of the roots
Difference in elevation = h - r
Since the problem statement doesn't provide the value of the height of the tree or the length of the roots, we can't calculate the exact difference in elevation. Therefore, without additional information, we cannot determine the difference in elevation between the top of the apple tree and the tips of its roots.
