At a given moment, a plane passes directly above a radar station at an altitude of 6 km and the plane's speed is 800 km/h. Let θ be the angle that the line through the radar station and the plane makes with the horizontal. How fast is θ changing 24 min after the plane passes over the radar station?

1.Let θ (in radians) be an acute angle in a right triangle and let x and y, respectively, be the lengths of the sides adjacent to and opposite θ. Suppose also that x and y vary with time. At a certain instant x=1 units and is increasing at 9 unit/s, while y=7 and is decreasing at 19 units/s. How fast is θ changing at that instant? 2.An airplane in Australia is flying at a constant altitude of 2 miles and...
