It is a calc I first-semester related rates question, so don't try to make it too confusing to read-thanks!</p>
<p>Two ships sail from the same island port, one going north at 24 knots (nautical miles per hour) and the other east at 30 knots. The northbound ship departs at 9 AM and the eastbound ship leaves at 11 AM. How fast is the distance between them increasing at 2 PM?</p>
<p>THANKS for the help everyone!</p>
