A plane is flying at the height of 5000m above the sea level.At aparticul point ,it is exactly above a submarin floatig 1200m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them? why do we subtract in this Q

the vertical distance is 7200 m as the plane's height is 5000m above sea level and the submarine is 1200 m below sea level so

the vertical distance  is [5000+1200]m=7200m

Height of plane = 5000 m

Depth of submarine = −1200 m

Distance between plane and submarine = 5000 m − (−1200) m

= 5000 m + 1200 m = 6200 m

Answer is 6200 M as 5000+1200 = 6200 thats why

5000_(_1200)
=5000+1200
=6200(ans)

Height of plane =5000

The submarine below the sea =1200m

The distance between plane and submarine=5000-(-1200)
=5000+1200
=6200 ans
