![**19.13** The geodetic height at Station Apple is 56.947 m, and the modeled geoid height is 34.598 m. What is its orthometric height?
**Explanation:**
To find the orthometric height, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Orthometric Height (H)} = \text{Geodetic Height (h)} - \text{Geoid Height (N)} \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ H = 56.947 \, \text{m} - 34.598 \, \text{m} = 22.349 \, \text{m} \]
Thus, the orthometric height at Station Apple is 22.349 meters.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb1815343-0e1e-45bc-b31a-0935809f9211%2F4161af28-b25f-4bb1-8dc5-e458ebf33e77%2Fhqabdn8_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
