How do I describe that?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Can you pick out where the zero point is in the drawing?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

0 is ground level. -9 is the bottom of the pool, which means 9 ft below ground level. +10 is the top of the slide which means 10 ft above ground level.

OpenStudy (ggdvaaa):
