Question
The highest point measured above sea level is the summit of Mt. Everest which is 8,848 m above sea level and the lowest point is challenger Deep at the bottom of Mariana Trench which is 10911 m below sea level. What is the vertical distance between these two points?
Solution
As per the given information, we can draw the diagram,
Let A be the point above the sea level and B be the point below the sea level.
∴ Vertical distance between points A and B = Distance between point A and sea level + Distance between point B and sea level
= AO + OB
= 8848 + 10911
= 19759 m
