a mountain climber ascends a mountain to find its peak. the peak is 14,090 ft above sea level, the climber then descends 490 ft to meet a fellow climber. find the climbers elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber
The climber starts at an elevation of 14,090 ft above sea level. They then descend 490 ft to meet the other climber.
To find their elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 490 ft from the initial elevation.
Elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber = 14,090 ft - 490 ft
= 13,600 ft
Therefore, the climbers' elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 13,600 ft.
