Answer:
The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.


We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

According to Pythagoras


.... (1)
Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.




Taking square root both sides.

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

Divide both sides by 2.

Put
, y=2,
in the above equation.

Divide both sides by 2.



Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.
One angle is inside a right triangle
X = 20
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x
=
