Question
I need to know what the height of a wall would be with the top of wall at 155.85 and the bottom is 148.4?
I am not quite sure exactly what you are looking for? 155.85 - 148.4 = 7.45 tall or is the bottom elevation of the wall provided not actually the bottom of the wall. For example, a wall will normally but not always extend an additional couple of feet below the ground. I hope this helps but if you can clarify the question maybe I can give you a more complete answer.
