    The marianas trench is 10415m below the sea level. Directly above it a helicopter is hovering 3200m above sea level. How far is the helicopter from the trench?

    Below sea level is negative:
    -10415

    Above sea level is positive:
    +3200

    The distance is found by:
    +3200 - -10415
    +3200 + 10415
    13,615
