Question

A plane is flying at the height of 5000 on 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

Answer:

6200 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of a plane above the sea level = 5000 m

floating submarine below the sea level = 1200 m

vertical distance between plane and the submarine =

5000 m +1200 m =6200 m

thus, vertical distance between them = 6200 m

Answer 2

Answer:

6200 m

Step-by-step explanation:

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
