Question 1136160: Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.
Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 220 miles per hour on a course of 155.0°. The second plane is flying in the direction 165.0° at 385 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.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the 2 distances from the starting point.
Then it's a SAS triangle.
Use the Cosine Law to find the 3rd side.
