Solution
As per the given information, we can draw the diagram,
Let A be the point above the sea level and B be the point below the sea level.
∴ Vertical distance between points A and B
= Distance between point A and sea level + Distance between point B and sea level
= AO + OB
= 8848 + 10911
= 19759 m
