the north bound plane. has traveled 63 kilometers. If the two airplanes are 87 kilometers aprat, how far has the eastbound airplane traveled?

The distance travelled by east bound car is 60 km.

Explanation:

Distance travelled by North bound plane = 63 km

Distance travelled by east bound plane = 87 km

Distance travelled by east bound plane = ?

The trajectory of the plane would form a triangle.

In a right angle triangle:

(hypotenuse) ² = (base) ² + (height) ²

(87) ² = (b) ² + (63) ²

7569 = b² + 3969

b² = 3600

b = 60 km

Therefore, distance travelled by east bound car is 60 km.
