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

Total vertical distance between them will be= Distance of submarine from sea level +distance of aeroplane from sea level

=1200+5000

=6200 m ans.

Answer 2

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 !
