Solution

Solution:
Since the submarine is 5 m below sea level, it will be represented by a negative sign and written as - 5 m.
The paraglider is 8 m above sea level so it will be represented by a positive sign and represented as + 8m.
The distance between submarine and paraglider is = 8 + 5 = 13 m
