Answer: 1,259 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven: The highest elevation in a small country occurs on a mountain above sea level = 1,232 meter
The lowest elevation in the same country occurs below sea level = -27 meters
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = Highest - lowest
= 1232 - (-27) meters
= 1232+27 meters  [ (-)(-)=(+) ]
= 1259 meters
Hence, the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = 1,259 meters.
