A yodeler ascends a mountain to its peak to do some sweet yodeling. The peak is 5,800 ft above sea level. The yodeler then descends 200 ft to meet a fellow yodeler. What is the height in feet of the yodeler after meeting their friend? *

Respuesta :

In this case, the yodeler ascends to mountain peak which was 5,800ft above sea level high. After that, the yodeler descends 200ft from his initial height. Descending can be translated into minus because it will cause the height to be decreased. To determine the yodeler final height, you need to add -200ft into the initial height. The calculation would be:

final height= initial height + moving distance
final height = 5,800ft + (-200ft)= 5,600ft
