A bird flying at 12 m above sea level dives

vertically 3 m into the sea to catch a fish and

returns to its initial height, what was the total

vertical distance it traveled?​

Asnwer: 9m

Answer 2

Answer:

30m

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance between the bird and the fish

= 12-(-3)

=15 m

The bird travelled 15m to catch the fish.

Total vertical distance travelled by the bird= 15+15=30m
