Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ,

____________________________

Here we use the concept of Absolute

Value of an integer.

Absolute value of an integer is the

numerical value of the integer

regardless of its sign.

If ' x ' is an integer then its absolute

value is denoted by | x | and is

defined as

i ) | x | = x , if x is positive.

ii ) | x | = 0 , if x is zero,

iii ) | x | = - x , if x is negative.

According to the given problem ,

Distance of the flight above the sea

level = 5000m

Distance of the submarine below the

Sea level = -1200m

Vertical distance between flight and

Submarine = | 5000 | + | - 1200 |

= 5000 + 1200

= 6200 m

Answer 2

Answer:

distance of plane from sea level = +5000m

distance of submarine from sea level = -1200

distance between them = 5000-(-1200)

= 5000+ 1200

$5000 \\ + 1200 \\ 6200$

= 6200

• distance between them is 6200m
