3. A plane travelling at an altitude of 20,000 feet passes directly overhead at time t = 0. One minute later, you observe that the angle between the vertical and your line of sight to the plane is 1.14 radians, and that this angle is changing at a rate of 0.38 radias/minute. Calculate the velocity of the airplane in miles per hour.
