An airplane is travelling north as 400 miles/hour. Leaving from the same airport, another airplane is travelling east at 465 miles/hour. How fast is the distance between the airplanes increasing when the first airplane is 1200 miles from the airport. Hint: draw a right triangle and label the northern distance 'a', the eastern distance 'b' and the distance between the 2 planes is the hypothenuse 'C'.
