Question

Three people hiked to the top of the hill represented by the following topographic map. Each hiker started at the same elevation but at different locations around the hill.
8. which elevation ( in feet ) did each hiker begin their hike?
9. which hiker would have the easiest hike up the hill?
10: what was the total change in elevation for hiker A once he reached the top of the hill?

Answer 1

Based on the map given, the following are true:

• Each hiker began at 180 feet.
• The hiker with the easiest path was Hiker C.
• The total change in elevation was 84 meters.

What does the map show?

Hikers A, B, and C all started at the contour line denoting 180 feet so they all started at a height of 180 feet.

Hiker C had the easiest path up the hill because the spacing of the contour lines shows that their path was not as steep as the paths taken by Hikers A and B.

The change in elevation for Hiker A is:

= Height of mountain - Original height

= 264 - 180

= 84 meters
