Superman and Batman were fighting when suddenly a bomb exploded between them. Due to the blast, Superman was thrown in the direction N33◦E at 30 m/s while Batman was thrown on a course of 333◦ at 20 m/s. After 5 seconds, they both hit the ground and Valentina became unconscious. If Superman flew 50 m/s towards Batman, how long can he reach him?

Draw and label a diagram!
The included angle is 60°, assuming 333° is the same as N27°W.
Use the Law of Cosines.
a = 150, b = 250, θ = 60°
After calculating the distance, d, divide buy 50 m/s to determine time.

Hello is the Law of Cosines like d = sqrt a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos θ
