A seagull is perched in a tree 50 feet above sea level. Directly below the seagull is a trout, swimming 23 feet below sea level. What is the distance between the seagull and the trout?

27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the direction above sea level is positive and the direction below sea level is negative.

Here, a seagull is perched in a tree 50 feet above sea level. Directly below the seagull is a trout, swimming 23 feet below sea level.

It means,

Distance = 50 +(-23)

= 50-23

= 27 feet

Hence, the distance between the seagull and the trout is 27 feet.
