Draw and label a diagram!
The angle between the two planes is 25°
Use the Law of Cosines
d2 = [3(293)]2 + [3(251)]2 - 2(3(293))(3(251)) cos 25°

asked 05/07/21Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 293 miles per hour on a course of 145.0∘. The second plane is flying in the direction of 170.0∘ at 251 miles per hour. Assuming there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 3 hours? Round your answer to the nearest mile.
_____ miles
