the angle between the two courses is ... 272 - 81 = 191
... 360 - 191 = 169 ... this is the included angle
find the distances along the two courses ... distance = rate * time
you now have two sides of an obtuse triangle and the angle between them
use the Law of Cosines to find the 3rd side (the distance between the aircraft)
This is the question:
Two aircraft, A and B, leave an airport at the same time. A flies on a course of 81 degrees at 652 km/h, and B flies on a course of 272 degrees at 546 km/h. Calculate their distance apart after 25 minutes to the nearest kilometer. Show ALL your work.
