A highway patrol plane is flying 1 mile above a long, straight road, with constant ground speed of 120 m.p.h. Using radar, the pilot detects a car whose distance from the plane is 1.5 miles and decreasing at a rate of 136 m.p.h. How fast is the car traveling along the highway? (Hint: You may give an exact answer, or use the fact that√5 ≈ 2.2.) I want to check my work , and rough diagram would be nice Taken from mit ocw single variable calculus final exam number 6.
