The surface of the Salton Sea in California is 226 feet below sea level. The peak of a mountain, also in California, is 10,000 ft above sea level. What is the difference between the two elevations?

10226 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sea level, A horizontal imaginary line on the sea's surface.

-Given that Salton is -226 ft below this line and the mountain is 10000ft above sea. The difference between this elevetions is calculated as;

Hence, the difference between the two elevations is 10226 ft

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
