Air traffic controllers are watching two planes on radar to ensure there is enough distance between them. Plane A took off at 10:00 a.m., and plane B took off at the same runway 5 minutes later. Both planes are flying at the same direction angle and the same path. At 10:10 a.m., the airport’s radar system detected plane A at (24, 18) and plane B at (8, 6). The scale on the radar is 1 unit = 25 miles.Which vector represents the path from plane A to plane B, and what is the actual distance between them?
