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 flowing 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them?​

Answer 1

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

Distance of the plane from sea level =

Also, the submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level

Distance of the submarine from sea level = 1200

Distance between them = 5000-(-1200)=6200

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of plane above the sea level. Floating a submarine below the sea level. ∴ The vertical distance between the plane and the submarine. Thus, the vertical distance between the plane and the submarine is 6200 m.
