Aman is hiking in death valley. he starts at an elevation of 65 feet above sea level and descends to an elevation 30 feet below sea level. how far did the hiker travel?

Well lets think of this as a number line.

And 0 is equal to the sea level.

And anything above the sea level is a positive number and anything below it is a negative number.

So our starting place is 65 feet above sea level.

And we know that he hikes 30 feet below sea level.

So he hikes down 65 feet (reaches sea level) & continues another 30 feet

So we have to add.

30 + 65 = 95

And the question is asking how many feet the hiker traveled.

The hiker traveled 95 feet.

Good Luck! :)

what are the statments

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
