The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet
<h3>What is the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the bird's nest?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Nest = 71 4/5 feet above the seal level
Bottom of canyon = 875 7/10 below sea level
Below sea level means negative
So, we have:
Nest = 71 4/5 feet
Bottom of canyon = -875 7/10
The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the bird's nest is calculated as
Difference = |Nest - Bottom of canyon|
This gives
Difference = |71 4/5 - (-875 7/10)|
Evaluate the difference
Difference = |947 1/2|
Remove the absolute bracket
Difference = 947 1/2
Hence, the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet
