Question 562528
Let {{{ d[1] }}} = distance in km from Boston to Indianapolis
Let {{{ d[2] }}} = distance in km from SF to Indianapolis
The planes are heading in a straight line towards
each other, since SW is the opposite direction from NE
Plane from Boston:
{{{ d[1] = 150*8 }}}
Plane from SF:
{{{ d[2] = 180*8 }}}
---------------
{{{ d[1] = 1200 }}} km
{{{ d[2] = 1440 }}} km
{{{ d[1] + d[2] = 2640 }}} km
