A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 10,783 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 516 ft to meet a fellow climber. Find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber.

To find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 516 ft from the peak elevation of 10,783 ft.
10,783 ft - 516 ft = 10,267 ft
Therefore, the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,267 ft.
To find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 516 ft from the initial elevation of 10,783 ft above sea level.
To do this, we can use the following equation:
Climber's elevation above sea level after meeting = Initial elevation - Descent
Plugging in the numbers:
Climber's elevation above sea level after meeting = 10,783 ft - 516 ft
Simplifying the equation:
Climber's elevation above sea level after meeting = 10,267 ft above sea level
Therefore, the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,267 ft above sea level.
