A plane flying with a constant speed of 330 km/h passes over a ground radar station at an altitude of 3 km and climbs at an angle of 30°. At what rate is the distance from the plane to the radar station increasing a minute later? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Added by Diane L.
Step 1
First, we need to find the horizontal and vertical distances the plane has traveled after 1 minute. Since the plane is flying at 330 km/h, it will travel 330/60 = 5.5 km in 1 minute. Show more…
