An airliner passes over an airport at noon traveling 530 mi / hr due east. At 1:00 p.m., another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at 560 mi / hr. Assuming both airliners maintain their (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2:30 p.m.? The equation relating the horizontal distance between the first airliner and the airport, a, the horizontal distance between the second airliner and the airport, b, and the horizontal distance between the two airliners, c is Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to t. At 2:30 p.m., the distance between the airliners is changing at a rate of about (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Two commercial airplanes are flying at an altitude of $12,000 \mathrm{~m}$ along straight-line courses that intersect at right angles. Plane $A$ is approaching the intersection point at a speed of 442 knots (nautical miles per hour; a nautical mile is $1852 \mathrm{~m}$ ). Plane $B$ is approaching the intersection at $481 \mathrm{knots}$. At what rate is the distance between the planes changing when $A$ is 5 nautical miles from the intersection point and $B$ is 12 nautical miles from the intersection point?

An airliner passes over an airport at noon traveling $500 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}$ due west. At 1: 00 p.M., another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at $550 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr} .$ Assuming both airliners maintain their (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2: 30 P.M.?
