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?​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{purple}{ink}{Answer}}$

From the question,

Plane is flying at the height = 5000 m

Depth of Submarine = -1200 m

The vertical distance between plane and submarine = 5000 m – (- 1200) m

= 5000 m + 1200 m

= 6200 m

Answer 2

$\small\sf{Plane\:is\:flying\:at\:the\:height=5000m}$

$\small\sf{Depth\:of\:Submarine=-1200m}$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\small\sf{The\:vertical\:distance\:between\:plane}$

$\small\sf{and\:submarine\:= 5000 m - (- 1200) m}$

$\large\sf{= 5000 m + 1200 m}$

$\large\sf{= 6200 m}$
