8. Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 255 miles per hour on a bearing of S 45.0°E. The second plane is flying in the direction S 45.0° W at 275 miles per hour. If there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours? What is the bearing of the second plane from the first after 2 hours?
