Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

Answer:

\sqrt{3} + \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

cot(30°) = \sqrt{3}

sin(60°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} +\sqrt{3} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  = \sqrt{3} +\frac{5\sqrt{3} }{6}
