An air traffic controller notices two signals from two planes on the radar monitor. One plane is at altitude 800 m and in a 19.2-km horizontal distance to the tower in a direction 25° south of west. The second plane is at altitude 1100 m and its horizontal distance is 17.6 km and 20° south of west. What is the distance between these planes?

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km. and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separatism distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
AN airplane is flying is a constant altitude of 22000 meters. When first seen to the east of an observer, the angle of elevation of the airplane is 64.7 degrees. After 36 seconds, the angle of elevation to the airplane is 52.2 degrees. what distance has the plan traveled?

A cat is standing in a front of a door and then walks 10.5 m towards a tree and then climb 3.5 m to the top of the tree. After the cat climbed up the tree, a bird landed on the front of the same door and saw the cat at the top of the tree. If the bird will fly directly to the top of the tree, in what angle should the bird fly? a. 18.43 degrees b. 71.56 degrees c. 19.47 degrees d. 70.53 degrees
After enjoying a big sandwich at Katz's Delicatessen, you decide to walk back to your luxury suite at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. First, you perambulate 0.15 mi at a polar angle of 160 degrees 0.15 mi angle 160^ ) . Next, you skedaddle 1.60 mi at a polar angle of 55 degrees (1.60 mi angle55^ ) . You follow this with a 0.55 mi jaunt at a polar angle of 150 degrees (0.55 mi angle150^ ) Finally, you be-bop 0.82 mi at a polar angle of 60 degrees (0.82 mi angle 60^ ) . What is the overall displacement from your starting point at Katz's Delicatessen? Express your answer in polar notation.
