Could you please either type out the question, or screenshot it, or take a photo?
If you want us to help answer your question, the least you could do is actually show it to us =)

Q 32. An observer sees a plane directly overhead, 2 km above the ground. The plane is moving horizontally at a constant speed of 500kmh. Find the rate at which the distance will be increasing between the observer and the plane when the distance between them is 5 km.
