Answer 1

Given :

Trina and Jessie went on a vacation to Hawaii. Trina went scuba diving and reached an elevation of −85.6 meters, which is below sea level.

Jessie went hang-gliding and reached an altitude of 87.9 meters, which is above sea level.

To Find :

The distance between them.

Solution :

Distance between them is :

`D=87.9-(-85.6)\ m\\\\D = 173.5\ m`

Therefore, maximum distance between them is 173.5 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.
