a submarine is 294 feet below sea level. a helicopter is flying diretly over the submarine 1277 feet above sea level.
what is the distance in feet from the helicpter to the submarine?
i got 1571 feet
is that righ?
Right.
To find the distance between the helicopter and the submarine, we need to add the vertical distances from each to sea level.
The helicopter is flying 1277 feet above sea level, and the submarine is 294 feet below sea level.
To calculate the total distance, we need to add the absolute values of these two distances:
1277 + 294 = 1571
Therefore, you are correct. The distance from the helicopter to the submarine is indeed 1571 feet.
