The elevation of the basement floor in a building is -15 ft. The elevation of the roof is 37 feet. What is the distance from the basement floor to the roof?
22 feet
-52 feet
37 feet
52 feet
The distance from the basement floor to the roof is calculated by subtracting the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof.
37 ft - (-15 ft) = 37 ft + 15 ft = 52 ft
So, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we need to calculate the difference between the elevations of the two floors.
Given:
Elevation of basement floor = -15 ft
Elevation of roof = 37 ft
To find the distance, we subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof:
Distance = Elevation of roof - Elevation of basement floor
Distance = 37 ft - (-15 ft)
Distance = 37 ft + 15 ft
Distance = 52 ft
Therefore, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof.
Given:
Elevation of the basement floor = -15 ft
Elevation of the roof = 37 ft
Distance from basement floor to roof = Elevation of the roof - Elevation of the basement floor
= 37 ft - (-15 ft)
= 37 ft + 15 ft
= 52 ft
Therefore, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
