The lowest point in Death Valley is Badwater at 282 feet below sea level. The highest point in the surrounding mountains is Telescope Peak at 11,043 feet above sea level. How many feet
higher is Telescope Peak than Badwater?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The position of badwater is negated because it is below sea level

The interpretation of the question, is to calculate the distance between the two given points.

This is calculated as:

Open bracket

Hence, the distance between both is 11325ft

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
