Question

Aeryn and Leeloo is taking off from a planet with a direction of <1, 4, 2> and speed of 15km/h. Three hours later, an informant on the planet sends a message to them saying a transport ship with valuables just took off from the planet with a direction of <7, 3, 10> and speed of 20km/h. Aeryn and Leeloo decide to intercept the transport ship by detouring into its flight path. How far do the pirates have to fly? If they maintains their speed, will they make it in time to intercept that transport? (Hint: think of the distance he has to travel as the leg opposite the non-matching angle of an isoscles triangle).Aeryn and Leeloo is taking off from a planet with a direction of <1, 4, 2> and speed of 15km/h.
