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

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

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

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

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

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

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

$\large\sf{= 6200 m}$

Given:

• 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.

To find:

• What is the vertical distance between them..

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

• Height of plane = 5000 m

• Depth of submarine = -1200 m

Distance between plane and submarine = 5000 m

- (-1200) m

= 5000 m + 1200 m = 6200 m

∴ the vertical distance between them is 6200 m

Hence verified !
