My question is about special relativity. Three interconnected rods form a 90-45-45 triangle that reside on the plane x′y ′ of frame O. The chord of this triangle is in the direction of the x-axis. The frame O in the x direction moves away from the frame O at a speed of 0.6c. What are the angles of this triangle from the observer O's point of view (in degrees)?

A spaceship travels at 0.698c relative to Earth. If the spaceship fires a small rocket in the forward direction, how fast (relative to the ship) must it be fired for it to travel at 0.942c relative to Earth?? c
Two spaceships are moving along the line connecting them. One of the spaceships shoots a missile towards the other. The missile leaves the attacking spaceship at 0.955c and approaches the other at 0.755c. What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships? Express it as a ratio to the speed of light. Let the relative velocity of the spaceships be positive if they are approaching each other and negative if they are moving apart from one another.
