Hi There;
I have a passage from The Economist, "The world’s deepest ocean trenches are packed with pollution"
NOT far off the coast of Guam lies the deepest point on Earth’s surface, the Mariana trench. Its floor is 10,994 metres below sea level. If Mount Everest were flipped upside down into it, there would still be more than 2km of clear water between the mountain’s base and the top of the ocean.

I can not understand the phrase underlined. I visualize my understanding from the passage above. Are these propositions true?
1-) If Mount Everest were flipped upside down into Mariana Trench, it will look like dashed triangle in blue side.
2-) h2 = 10.994 metres
3-) Letter C denotes Mariana Trench.
In addition, which letter denotes mountain's base and top of the ocean? Thanks in advance.
