Directly below it, a submarine is at a depth of 200 meters.The altimeter on the helicopter reads ______ meters,which means it is 100 meters _____ sea level.The altimeter on the submarine reads______ meters,which means it is 200 meters _______ sea level

Answer 1

A helicopter is hovering 100 meters above the ocean. Directly below it, a submarine is at a depth of 200 meters.The altimeter on the helicopter reads 100 meters,which means it is 100 meters above sea level.The altimeter on the submarine reads 200 meters,which means it is 200 meters below sea level

Answer 2

1. 100

2. Above,

3.
`-200`,

4. Below.

Explanation:

We have been given that a helicopter is hovering 100 meters above the ocean. Directly below it, a submarine is at a depth of 200 meters. We are supposed to fill in the given blanks.

We know the helicopter is 100 meters above the sea level, so its altitude will be positive 100.

The altimeter on the helicopter reads 100 meters, which means it is 100 meters above sea level.

We know the submarine is at depth of 200 meters, which means that it is 200 meters below the sea level, so its altitude will be negative 200.

The altimeter on the submarine reads
`-200` meters,which means it is 200 meters below sea level.
