an air plane is flying at a height of 6 miles on a flight path that will take it directly over a radar tracking station. the distance d between them is decreasing at a rate of 400 miles per hour when the distance between them is 10 miles. what is the speed of the plane?

500 mph is the speed of the plane.

This creates a right triangle, with the distance between the plane and the radar station serving as the hypotenuse (s). Let y represent the plane's height and x represent its flight route.

s2 = y2 + x2

Given: the constant value of y = 6

negative since decreasing, ds/dt = -400

Trying to locate dx/dt

Taking the implicit derivative of the above equation's two sides

0 + 2xdx/dt = 2sds/dt

(S/X) ds/dt = dx/dt

When x = 8

s = √(62+82) = √100 = 10

dx/dt = (10/8)(-400) = -500 mph, or 500 mph traveling toward the radar station at a distance of 6 miles.
