The highest point in Chicago is 735 feet above sea level. You can represent that numerically using .

+735 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Points or position above sea level are denoted with positive elevation values while points or positions below sea level are denoted by negative values. The sea level position itself could be viewed as a midpoint such as the position of 0 on a number line ; where distances to the right are positive and distances to the left are negative.

Hence, a point which is said to be 735 feets above sea level would have an equivalent numeric representation of +735 feets

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
