To find the building's elevation above ground, we need to subtract the depth of the basement from the total length of the building.
70 feet - 15 feet = 55 feet
Therefore, the building's elevation above ground is 55 feet.
Simplify: 8⋅9−2⋅5
Remember to use the order of operations (PEMDAS).

To simplify 8⋅9−2⋅5, we need to perform the multiplication before subtraction according to the order of operations (PEMDAS):
8⋅9 = 72
2⋅5 = 10
Now we can subtract:
72 - 10 = 62
Therefore, the simplified expression is 62.
To find the building's elevation above ground, we need to subtract the depth of the basement from the total height of the building.
Total height of the building: 70 feet
Depth of the basement: 15 feet
70 - 15 = 55 feet
Therefore, the building's elevation above ground is 55 feet.
To find the building's elevation above ground, we need to subtract the depth of the basement from the total length of the building.
We know that the depth of the basement is 15 feet and the total length of the building from basement to roof is 70 feet.
So, to find the building's elevation above ground, we use the following formula:
Elevation above ground = Total length - Depth of the basement
Elevation above ground = 70 feet - 15 feet
Elevation above ground = 55 feet
Therefore, the correct answer is 55 feet.
