In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plan is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2,000 m, located at 15° above the horizontal, and 45° north of west, as seen by the tower. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 2,900 m, located at 5° above the horizontal, and located directly west as seen by the tower. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower (in km). (Express your answers in vector form. Assume the +x-axis is to the east the +y-axis is to the north, and the +z-axis is up towards the sky.) RBoeing km RDC-3 = km (b) What is the distance (in km) between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions? km

Star and Kiara are at the 2019 Something in the Water festival in VA Beach. They were separated from one another in the crowd of people. Star can see Kiara at a bearing of N72°E. Just as Star starts to make her way toward Kiara she stops dead in her tracks. Star just noticed Beyoncé standing 30 ft due south of Kiara. Star is awestruck that she can see Beyoncé at a bearing of 561°E, how far is Star from Beyoncé? Round to the hundredth place.
