It is kind of like a number line. The two points on your number line will be 76 to -314.
so its length is the distance 76 is from 0 plus the distance from 0 to -314. It is written mathematically with absolute values:
|76| + |-314|
76+314 = 390

314+76= 390 feet

76 feet + 314 feet = 390 feet from opening to closing

390
Since 314+76 = 390 is the sum of the lengths of the "thing" below sea level and above sea level.

I would think it would be 76 + 314 = 390.

my guess is to add 314 to 76

as both numbers are away from ZERO in opposite directions, you simply add them together, and come up with THREE HUNDRED NINETY (390)
