Answer:

104 miles (nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Applying Pythagorean theorem which is: c² = a² + b². Where,

c = distance between the two planes = ?

a = distance of the first plane from the airport = 80 - 1 = 79 miles

b = distance of the second plane from the airport = 68 - 1 = 67 miles

c² = 79² + 67²

c² = 10,730

c = √10,730

c = 103.585713

c = 104 miles (nearest whole number)
