First, illustrate the problem as shown in the attached picture. Next, let's find the distance traveled by planes A and B after 2.9 h.
Distance of A: 650 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,885 m
Distance of B: 560 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,624 m
Then, we use the cosine law to determine the distance x. The angle should be: 85 - 60.5 = 24.5°
x² = 1,885² + 1,624² - 2(1,885)(1,624)(cos 24.5°)
x = √619381.3183
<em>x = 787 m</em>
Distance of A: 650 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,885 m
Distance of B: 560 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,624 m
Then, we use the cosine law to determine the distance x. The angle should be: 85 - 60.5 = 24.5°
x² = 1,885² + 1,624² - 2(1,885)(1,624)(cos 24.5°)
x = √619381.3183
<em>x = 787 m</em>
