Assuming they started in the same place (\"0\",\"0\") at the same time (\"t=0\").
\n" ); document.write( "In two hours, plane 1 will have traveled 1000 miles north (\"0\",\"1000\").
\n" ); document.write( "Plane 2 will have traveled 960 miles at 280 degrees,
\n" ); document.write( "(\"960cos%28280%29\",\"960sin%28280%29\")=(\"166.7\",\"-945.4\").
\n" ); document.write( "Use the distance formula to find the distance between them,
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=%280-166.7%29%5E2%2B%281000-%280-945.4%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=166.7%5E2%2B1945.4%5E2\"
