Respuesta :

Notice that the two airplanes are flying above the ground; therefore, the position of the first aircraft is given by y_1=13034, while the position of the second one is y_2=18002.

The distance between two points is given by

[tex]|y_2-y_1|[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\Rightarrow distance=|y_2-y_1|=|18002-13034|=|4968|=4968[/tex]

The vertical distance is 4968ft. The answer is 4968ft
