Question

a plane is flying at the height of 5000m above the sea level. At the particular point, it is exactly above the submarine floating 1200m below the sea level. what is the vertical distance between them.​

Answer 1

the distance is 3800 m by subtract 1200m from 5000m is is + 3800 m

Answer 2

Solution :

Height of plane above sea level =

$5000m$

Floating submarine under sea level=

$1200m$

The vertical distance between plane and submarine

$5000 - 1200 \\ = 3800$

Hence, vertical distance between plane and submarine is 3800 m.
