Question

Thanks a lot to all those who try to help with quick feedbacks...

Answer 1

Given the state of modern air traffic control they're probably both still circling the departure airport.

Answer 2

the answer is 500.

Answer 3

500 miles

cause the 1st plane will go 300 miles in two hours and the 2nd plane will go 400 miles in 2 hours. so you can make a triangle out of it and then use Asquared plus Bsquared = Csquared and find out that 400squared + 300squared = 250,000 which the square root of is 500
