What is the elevation of the mountains peak?

Question

A mountain with a base 11,853 ft. below sea level rises 22,941 ft. What is the elevation of the mountains peak?

Answer 1

34,794 feet You add the two together, because it apparently is a vocanic peak rising up from the oceans bottom.

Answer 2

22941-11853=11088 ft.

You see, if the mountain's base were at sea level its peak would be 22941 feet up, but since the base is lower than sea level, it takes away from the elevation of the mountain.

Answer 3

That is exactly what you would do.

22,941

-11,853

______

11,088 is the height of its peak !!!
