Q. Four friends are on vacation in Hawaii.\newlineLeilani is hiking in Oahu at 952 m 952 \mathrm{~m} in elevation.\newlineKeanu is snorkeling at −2 m -2 \mathrm{~m} in elevation.\newlineKiah is scuba diving at 608 m 608 \mathrm{~m} in elevation.\newlineKanoa is enjoying a picnic at 4 m 4 \mathrm{~m} in elevation.\newlineWhich friend is closest to sea level?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Leilani\newline(B) Keanu\newline(C) Kiah\newline(D) Kanoa
  1. Calculate Leilani's Absolute Difference: Leilani's elevation is given as 952952m. Since sea level is considered to be 00m, we need to find the absolute difference between Leilani's elevation and sea level.\newlineCalculation: ∣952m−0m∣=952m|952m - 0m| = 952m
  2. Calculate Keanu's Absolute Difference: Keanu's elevation is given as −2 m-2\,\text{m}. This is below sea level, but we are interested in the absolute distance from sea level.\newlineCalculation: ∣−2 m−0 m∣=2 m|-2\,\text{m} - 0\,\text{m}| = 2\,\text{m}
  3. Calculate Kiah's Absolute Difference: Kiah's elevation is given as 608 m608\,\text{m}. Again, we find the absolute difference from sea level.\newlineCalculation: ∣608 m−0 m∣=608 m|608\,\text{m} - 0\,\text{m}| = 608\,\text{m}
  4. Calculate Kanoa's Absolute Difference: Kanoa's elevation is given as 4 m4\,\text{m}. We calculate the absolute difference from sea level.\newlineCalculation: ∣4 m−0 m∣=4 m|4\,\text{m} - 0\,\text{m}| = 4\,\text{m}
  5. Compare Absolute Differences: Now we compare the absolute differences to determine which is the smallest. The smallest absolute difference will indicate the friend closest to sea level.\newlineComparison: Leilani (952 m952\,\text{m}), Keanu (2 m2\,\text{m}), Kiah (608 m608\,\text{m}), Kanoa (4 m4\,\text{m})\newlineThe smallest value is 2 m2\,\text{m}, which is Keanu's elevation.
