Questionand a nearby mountain range. The table gives the altitude (in feet above sea level) for the five checkpoints in the race. Use the table to answer the questions. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Checkpoint & (reet ablitude sea level) \\ \hline 1 & 3,225 \\ \hline 2 & -216 \\ \hline 3 & 2,503 \\ \hline 4 & 676 \\ \hline 5 & -95 \\ \hline \end{tabular} (a) How much higher is Checkpoint 4 than Checkpoint 5 ? $\square$ n higher (b) The top of a hill rises 109 feet above Checkpoint 2. What is the altitude of the top of the hilis? $\square$ ก

Studdy Solution
Calculate the altitude of the top of the hill by adding the rise to the altitude at Checkpoint 2. $\text{Altitude of the top of the hill} = \text{Altitude at Checkpoint 2} + \text{Rise in altitude}$ $\text{Altitude of the top of the hill} = -216 + 109$ $\text{Altitude of the top of the hill} = -107 \text{ feet}$
Solution: (a) The difference in altitude between Checkpoint 4 and Checkpoint 5 is $771 \text{ feet}$.
(b) The altitude of the top of the hill is $-107 \text{ feet}$.
