Not sure why the oblique distance needs to be calculated, but that's what the question asks.
The solution is similar to the cone problem.
dx/dt=600 km h<sup>-1</sup>
h=10 km
x=20 km
L=sqrt(x²+h²)
dL/dx=x/sqrt(x²+h²)
dL/dt
=(dL/dx) * (dx/dt)
=(x/sqrt(x²+h²)) * (600 km h<sup>-1</sup>)
=600x/sqrt(x²+h²) km-h<sup>-1</sup>
=537 km-h<sup>-1</sup>
