Question

a plane is flying at the height of 8000 metre above the sea level at a particular point it is exactly above a submarine floating 1500m below the sea level what is the vertical distance between them​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi ,

____________________________

Here we use the concept of Absolute

Value of an integer.

Absolute value of an integer is the

numerical value of the integer

regardless of its sign.

If ' x ' is an integer then its absolute

value is denoted by | x | and is

defined as

i ) | x | = x , if x is positive.

ii ) | x | = 0 , if x is zero,

iii ) | x | = - x , if x is negative.

_________________________

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

= 6200 m

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Let the position of an object above and below the sea level be denoted by +x and-x respectively.

Position of the plane = 8000m above sea level = +8000m

Position of the submarine = 1500m below sea level = -1500m

Thus, vertical distance between them

= {8000-(-1500)}m

={8000+1500}m

=9500m
