Question

A plane is flying at the height of 6000 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

Answer:

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

Distance of the plane from sea level = 5000\ m

Also, the submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level

Distance of the submarine from sea level = -1200\ m

Distance between them = [5000-(-1200)]\ m

6200\ m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distance of the plane from sea level = 5000\ m

Also, the submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level

Distance of the submarine from sea level = -1200\ m

Distance between them = [5000-(-1200)]\ m

6200\ m
