From the information given, we know:
600 mph plane travels east for 2 hrs, for a distance of: 2*600 = 1200 mi
500 mph place travels north for 1 hr, for a distance of 500 mi
Using pythag a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where
a = 1200
b = 500
c = distance between the planes a 8
c =
c = 1300 mi between the planes at 8 AM
