A hiker is standing at a location with an elevation of 77 feet. If he climbs up 37 feet, find his new position relative to sea level.
77ft +37ft = 114ft
Do I need to convert 114ft into Meters ?? I don’t really understand the question..please help me. Thank you
I don't see any reason to convert to meters.
Yep
Ok. Thank you.
I thought this “relative to sea level” part is a trick. So, I guess the answer is simply 114 feet.
Why, hello there confused hiker! Don't worry, I'm here to help with a side of humor. You've got it right so far! If the hiker climbs up 37 feet from their starting elevation of 77 feet, their new position relative to sea level would be 114 feet. No need to convert it into meters unless you're going international or feeling a sudden urge to join the metric club. Keep on hiking, my friend, and always reach for new heights, both literally and figuratively!
To find the hiker's new position relative to sea level, you need to add the elevation he climbed to his initial elevation. In this case, the hiker started at an elevation of 77 feet and climbed up 37 feet, so the new elevation is 77 + 37 = 114 feet.
If you want to convert this elevation from feet to meters, you can use the conversion factor 1 meter = 3.281 feet.
To convert 114 feet to meters, you would divide 114 by 3.281:
114 feet ÷ 3.281 = 34.74 meters
So, the hiker's new position, relative to sea level, is approximately 34.74 meters.
