h is measured in miles so you need to convert 1135ft to miles
1 mile = 5280 feet
so 1135/5280 = 0.21496 miles
D = sqrt(2(3960)(0.21496) + 0.21496^2)
D = sqrt(1702.4832 + 0.046207801)
D = sqrt(1702.529408
D = 41.2617 miles round answer as needed

Answer:
after 7 minutes
19,600 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the "pencil and paper" solution:
The two altitude equations are ...
y = 41300 -3100x
y = 2800x
They can be solved by setting the expressions for y equal to each other.
2800x = 41300 -3100x
5900x = 41300
x = 41300/5900 = 7
y = 2800·7 = 19600
The planes will both be at 19,600 feet after 7 minutes.
H=80 ft
Distance from horizon
=sqrt(h/0.57) miles
=sqrt(80/0.57) miles
=11.85 miles.
