The vertical distance between the submarine and airplane is 9,874 meters.
Answer:
9,874 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a submarine is 730 m below sea level. This means that altitude of the submarine would be [tex]-730\text{ m}[/tex].
We are also told that an airplane that is directly over the submarine is 9,144 m above sea level. The altitude of the airplane would be [tex]9,144\text{ m}[/tex].
To find the vertical distance between the submarine and the airplane, we will subtract elevation of submarine from elevation of airplane as:
[tex]\text{The vertical distance between the submarine and the airplane}=9,144\text{ m}-(-730\text{ m})[/tex]
[tex]\text{The vertical distance between the submarine and the airplane}=9,144\text{ m}+730\text{ m}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The vertical distance between the submarine and the airplane}=9,874\text{ m}[/tex]
Therefore, the vertical distance between the submarine and the airplane would be 9,874 meters.
