Question

Answer 1

130 m

Explanation:

Answer 2

130 m

Explanation:

Let surface of ocean be at 0 feet (sea level)

• Albatross is 100 m ABOVE surface of ocean, and
• Shark is 30 m BELOW the surface of ocean

The distance from albatross to surface is 100 and the distance from surface to shark is 30 m. The total distance between them is
`100+30=130`

Distance between shark and albatross is 130 m
