An aireraft flies at a constant height along a straight path of 8 km above the ground. The angle of elevation from a fixed point on the ground to the aireraft is marked as x radians, which varies with time. The horizontal distance along the ground of the aircraft from the fixed point is marked as y km. The aircraft is flying at a constant speed of 500 km/h. Find the rate of change of x, in radian per hour, when x is radians ? 8 km

radians, which varies with time. The horizontal distance along the ground of the
aircraft from the fixed point is marked as y km.
The aircraft is flying at a constant speed of 500 km/h.
Find the rate of change of x, in radian per hour, when x is radians ?
8 km
