You can put this solution on YOUR website! The altitude of the peak of Mt. Everest is 29,028 feet. The world’s greatest known ocean depth of -36,201 feet was recorded in the Marianas Trench. How many feet above the bottom of the Marianas Trench is a climber who has reached the top of Mt. Everest?
---
Total height = height of the mountain above sea level + height of the
water level above the bottom of the sea
-------------------
Total = 29028 + 36201
Total = 65229 ft.
