Two airliners are
a part and heading toward each other at different altitudes.
The first plane is travelling north at
.
Second plane is traveling south at
.
Draw a diagram planes are tarvelling by north and south.
\
Let time is
both are travels same time.
Where
is number of hours untill the planes travelling distance.
Find time
.
Distance formula:
.
Let time is number of hours untill they travelling distance.
\Make a table:
\| Direction of the planes | \![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
| First plane by north | \ | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
| Second plane by south | \![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
Solve the equation.
\Distance travelled by first plane plus Distance travelled by second plane equals 
(Original equation)
(Simplify)
(Divide each side by
)
(Simplify)
Therefore, the two planes are travelling
apart after
.
The two planes are travelling
apart after
