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

Answer:

Height of the plane above the sea level = 5000 m

Depth of submarine below the sea level = -1200 m

Let us find the difference between the above two.

Distance between plane and submarine = 5000 m - (-1200 m)

= 5000 m + 1200 m

= 6200 m

Hence, the vertical distance is 6200 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution

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

=6200m
