hello, i need help on this question.
A plane flying with a constant speed of 25km/min passes over a ground radar station at an altitude of 15km and climbs at an angle of 20 degrees. At what rate, in km/min is the distance from the plane to the radar station increasing 3 minutes later?
Since it is climbing at an angle of 20 degrees, i can't simply use pythagorean theorem and take y prime..
can anyone give me an advice how to approach to this question?
