Solution

Given,
The plane is flying at a height $= 5000 m$
Depth of Submarine $= - 1200 m$ ( $∵$ negative sign indicates the distance below level)
Distance between plane and submarine $= 5000 m - (- 1200) m$
$= 5000 m + 1200 m = 6200 m$
Hence, the distance between a plane and submarine $= 6200 m$ .

Given,The plane is flying at a height =5000mDepth of Submarine =-1200m (∵negative sign indicates the distance below level)Distance between plane and submarine =5000m-(-1200)m =5000m+1200m=6200mHence, the distance between a plane and submarine=6200m.
