.Two airplanes at 25,000 feet above the ground are fly-ing toward the same airport. Airplane A is flying duesouth toward the airport at 200 miles per hour, andAirplane B is flying due west toward the airport at 250miles per hour. At 10:00 AMAirplane A is 700 milesfrom the airport, and Airplane B is 925 miles from theairport. How far are the two airplanes from each otherat 10:30 AM?
A.1,000 miles
B.1,160 miles
C.1,400 miles
D.1,625 miles
E.1,800 miles

Answer is 1000 miles...


Between 10 am to 10:30am, A covered 100miles while B covered 125miles...

So, distance left for A is 700 - 100 = 600 miles
And distance left for B is 925-125 = 800 miles...

So to get distance apart, we use Pythagoras's rule:

I.e, d^2 = 800^2 + 600^2

Finally, d = 1000 miles

The answer is A

The 25,000 feet is useless
