the vertical distance between X and Y:
Ans:​

Answer 1

Welcome Santosh,

◆ Answer -

Vertical distance between X & Y = 14.2 km = 14200 m

● Explanation -

Height of point X on the mountain is given as -

x = 2100 m

Depth of point Y in the mine is given as -

y = 12100 m

Vertical distance between point X and point Y is calculated simply as -

Vertical distance = x + y

Vertical distance = 2100 + 12100

Vertical distance = 14200 m

Vertical distance = 14.2 km

Therefore, Vertical distance between point X and point Y is 14.2 km.

Thanks for asking...
