This is a plane geometry problem. Not plane as in airplane, but plane as in flat surface. We are looking for the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The formula for the hypotenuse is, in words because WikiAnswers doesn't much like symbols, is -
hypotenuse = the square root of the sum of the squares of the two sides.
The plane flying north flies at 510 mph for 2 hours or 1020 miles.
The plane flying west flies at 200 mph for 2 hours or 400 miles.
The hypotenuse of this triangle equals the square root of the sum of 1020 squared and 400 squared.
1020 squared is 1,040,400 and 400 squared is 160,000.
Their sum is 1,200,400.
So their distance apart is the square root of 1,200,400 or 1095.62767 miles.

If two planes leave the same airport at 100 PM how many miles apart will they be at 300 PM if one travels directly north at 150 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?
Plane A travels due north at 150 mph for 2 hours, it will go 300 miles. Plane B travels due west at 200 mph for 2 hours, it will go 400 miles. Draw the two vectors and you will see that they make two sides of a right triangle. The distance between the two planes at the end of two hours is just the hypotenuse of this triangle. You could use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2 = a^2 + b^2) to find the distance...or you could recognise that 300 and 400 are two of a pythagorean triplet (300, 400, 500) and the third number of this triplet is 500. So, the planes will be 500 miles aprt at the end of two hours
Can you get on planes on GTAvcs?
