Question

A plane is flying at the height of 5000 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

Height of a place above the sea level = 5000 m Floating a submarine below the sea level = 1200 m 

∴ The vertical distance between the plane and the submarine = 5000 + 1200 = 6200 m Thus, the vertical distance between the plane and the submarine is 6200 m.
