Question

3. A plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level. At a particular point, it is exactly above a submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level

Distance of the plane from sea level = 5000\ m

Also, the submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level

Distance of the submarine from sea level = -1200\ m

Distance between them = [5000-(-1200)]\ m

6200\ m

Answer 2

Question:-

A plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level. At a particular point, it is exactly above a submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them?

To Find:-

• Vertical distance between them.

Solution:-

• Vertical distance between the plane and the sea level above=5000m
• Vertical distance between the submarine and the sea level below= -1200

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

$\rm \dashrightarrow 5000 - ( - 1200)m$

$\rm \dashrightarrow 6200 \: m$

∴ Vertical distance between the plane and the submarine is 6200m.
