You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two small planes leave the Abbotsford airport at the same time. The first flies at 225 km/h at a heading of 320°, while the second flies at 190 km/h at a heading of 70°. How far apart are they after 2 hours?
=============================
Find the 2 distances the planes are from the airport.
----> 2 sides and the included angle. Use the Cosine Law.
------------------
The angle is 110 degs, btw. Not everyone understands headings.
