A kite is flying 35 m above a lake. A fish is 12 m below the surface, straight under it. Which calculation gives the distance between them?

  • A35 − 12 = 23 m
  • B35 − (−12) = 47 m
  • C−12 − 35 = −47 m
  • D35 + (−12) = 23 m

Step-by-Step Solution

Distance = higher position − lower position = 35 − (−12) = 35 + 12 = 47 m. A distance cannot be negative, and 23 m ignores that the fish is below the surface.
Answer: B) 35 − (−12) = 47 m
