Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 285 miles per hour on a course of 155.0°. The second plane is flying in the direction 175.0° at 336 miles per hour. Assuming there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) mi
