Sorry If I am wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:  244 feet

========================================================

Explanation:

Imagine reflecting everything so that location A is above location B. Effectively all you're doing is erasing the negative signs.

That would place A at 290 feet and B would be at 46 feet. The difference in elevation is 290-46 = 244 feet

Instead of reflecting, you can turn the page upside down and just ignore the negative signs, and then subtract like normal.

This trick only works if both elevations A and B are below sea level.

--------

Or you could subtract like so:

|A-B| = |-290-(-46)| = |-290+46| = |-244| = 244

The absolute value is used to ensure the result is not negative. A negative difference makes no sense. In this case, "difference" and "distance" mean the same thing more or less.
