sea level. a trail runs from the base of the mountain to the top. the trail is 8 miles long and it takes about 5 hours to hike from the base of the mountain to the top.

which of the following equations could be used to determine the vertical distance from the base of the mountain to the top?
A.t-b=5,300
b.t+b=16,100
c.t*b=57,780,000
d.t÷b=1.98

Answer 1

best to try and draw this:
you will see then that it is 10,700ft-5,400ft or t-b=5,300
