Two aircraft approaching an aircraft carrier are detected by radar. The first aircraft is at a horizontal distance of 34.3 km in the direction 42.0 north of east and has an altitude of 2.40 km. The second aircraft, at half this altitude, is at a horizontal distance of 42.6 km in the direction 37.0 north of east. What is the distance separating the two aircraft? Hint: Use a coordinate system with the x axis pointing east, the y axis pointing north, and the z axis in the vertical direction.
