Answer:

<h2>B. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is 33 feet.</h2><h2>E. The difference in height between the pelican and the trout is 40 feet.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the heron and the pelican are above sea level, that means they are in positive territory.

On the other hand, the trout is below the sea level, so it's in negative territory.

The difference in height between the heron and the pelican is

50ft-17ft=33ft

Notice that this difference should be positive, because we just want to know the difference between heights.

On the other hand, the difference between the pelican and the trout is

17ft-(-23ft)=17+23=40ft

Because the difference is a positive number.

Therefore, the right answers are B and E.
