Answer
900 m

The correct answer is 900 m — Divide the sum by 2 to find the mean: 1,800 ÷ 2 = 900 m.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Identify the highest elevation as 1,600 m.
  2. Identify the lowest elevation as 200 m.
  3. Add the two elevations: 1,600 + 200 = 1,800 m.
  4. Divide the sum by 2 to find the mean: 1,800 ÷ 2 = 900 m.
Common mistake: Adding instead of averaging
