An air traffic controller spots two planes at the same altitude converging on a point as they fly at right angles to each other. one plane is 225 miles from the point moving at 450 mph. the other plane is 300 miles away flying at 600 mph.
a) at what rate is the distance between the planes decreasing?

if some one can explain how to do this problem for me that would be great ive been stumped for a while THX.
