Question

1. what is the most likely elevation of the mountain below? 774 meters 871 meters 922 meters 986 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Determine contour interval

The contour lines show 500 and 750. The difference between them is 250 and there are 5 intervals between them. So the contour - interval is $\frac{750 - 500}{5}=50$ meters.

Step2: Find elevation range

The highest visible contour line is 750. The next possible contour line (not shown as it is the peak) would be 800. The elevation of the mountain peak is between 750 and 800 meters.

Answer:

774 meters
