I will give brainlest and extra points for this please complete less in 5 minutes it is due

Answer 1

Consider sea level to be 0

since we are 63 ft below sea level, we are technically at -63

1287 ft above sea level is +1287

take the absolute value of both of these and add them
63 + 1287 = 1350

the final answer is 1350!
