do you still need help?

anonymous · Answer

yeh

anonymous · Answer

ok...well if I put it in word, if sea level is at zero feet, the difference between zero and the mountain climber is 29035 right?

anonymous · Answer

right

anonymous · Answer

can you tell me the difference between zero and the rock?

anonymous · Answer

the point is, is that is you took a tape measure and measured the distance from zero to the stone, and then the distance from zero to the mountain climber, you would get positive number showing on the tape...you just add them together...that's all

It might help if we visualized this one a bit.
Imagine that sea level is elevation 0
