Review the following map and answer questions 31 through 34.

what is the elevation of point x?

a.3180

b.3200

c.3150

d.3233

A. 3180

Explanation:

Point X has an elevation of approximately 3180 meters. We can make this estimate by looking at the contour lines. The two basic contour lines bellow and above point X are with values of 3000 and 3250. Since point x is between these two, it means that it is higher than 3000 meters, but lower than 3250 meters. we see that from the basic contour line at 3000 meters, to the basic contour line at 3250 meters there's fine contour lines, thus each contour line represents 50 meters of elevation. Pint X is located between the third and fourth contour line above 3000 meters, thus it is between 3150 and 3200 meters, and since it is in the middle between them, it is safe to assume that it has an approximate elevation of 3180 meters.

this is true
