Question

Can someone help with this question? I started the problem. If you could tell me if I'm headed towards the right direction

A Cessna (heading south at 120 mph) and a Boeing 747 (heading west at 600 mph) are flying toward the same point at the same altitude. The Cessna is 100 miles from the point where the flight patterns intersect and the 747 is 550 miles from this intersection point. Find parametric equations that model the motion of the Cessna Ward intersect and the 747 is 550 miles from this intersection point. Find parametric equations that model the motion of the Cessna and the 747 Find a formula for the distance between the planes as a function of time. Graph the function in on your calculator. What is the minimum distance between the planes? When are the planes closest?

Explanation / Answer

yes you are going great:)
in distance formula we must use sqrt[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
so just put a square root sign else everything is perfect
