Let’s go step by step to solve each question.

1) What is the interval for the topographical maps below?

Look at the elevation numbers on the dots: 350, 400, 450, 500.

The difference between each number is:
- 400 - 350 = 50
- 450 - 400 = 50
- 500 - 450 = 50

So, the contour interval (the change in elevation from one line to the next) is 50.

✔ Answer for #1: 50

2) What is the elevation at point A?

Point A is a red circle labeled “A”. Look at the dot right next to it — it says 350.

Since point A is placed directly on or very near that dot, and no other elevation is given for it, we assume point A is at 350.

✔ Answer for #2: 350

3) What is the elevation at point B?

Point B is a red circle labeled “B”. The closest dot to it says 400.

Again, since it’s placed right by that dot, we take its elevation as 400.

✔ Answer for #3: 400

4) If you walked from point B to point C, would you be walking downhill or uphill?

We already know:
- Point B = 400
- Point C = ? Let’s check.

Point C is a red circle labeled “C”. The closest dot to it says 450.

So:
- Start at B: 400
- End at C: 450

You’re going from lower to higher elevation → uphill

✔ Answer for #4: uphill

5) If you walked from point C to point E, would you be walking downhill or uphill?

We have:
- Point C = 450
- Point E = ? Check the map.

Point E is a red circle labeled “E”. The closest dot to it says 500.

So:
- Start at C: 450
- End at E: 500

Again, going from lower to higher → uphill

Wait — let me double-check point E.

Looking again: yes, point E is next to a dot labeled 500. So 450 → 500 = still uphill.

But wait — maybe I misread? Let me check if there’s any trick.

No — all points are clearly marked with their nearest elevation dots.

So:

C = 450
E = 500
→ Going up → uphill

✔ Answer for #5: uphill

Final Answer:

1) 50
2) 350
3) 400
4) uphill
5) uphill
