A radar station locates a sinking ship at range 17.3 km and bearing 136 degrees clockwise from north. From the same station a rescue plane is at horizontal range 19.6 km, 153 degrees clockwise from north, with elevation 2.2 km.
(a) write the position vector for the ship relative to the plane (where i is east, j north and k up)
(b) how far apart are the plane and ship?
okay, first of all, i don't think i even understand the problem. I'm not sure how to draw a picture for the plane. I'm sure it'll have to be in a 3D plane, but i can't picture it. thanks.
