Brian was hired to investigate a temple ruin on a desolated island within the Bermuda triangle. He flew a seaplane going north towards the island. As he approached the island, the flight control tower notified him that an unauthorized plane is flying south at about the same altitude and located on the same area. Brian was informed that the southward bound plane is currently located at a position which is 13.5 kilometers, 102˚ from his plane.
a. How far to the north is the other plane?
b. How far to the west is the other plane?
c. Afraid that the plane was an enemy aircraft, Brian asked how long will it take before their planes meets side-by-side. The control tower responded that the other plane is traveling at the same speed as Brian at 290 km/hr. Suddenly, Brian lost connection with the control tower. Help Brian to determine how much time will elapse before their planes are side-by-side.
