A plane flying with a constant speed of 23 km/min passes over a ground radar station at an altitude of 5 km and climbs at an angle of 35 degrees. At what rate, in km/min is the distance from the plane to the radar station increasing 7 minutes later?

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the radar station is increasing 7 minutes later can be calculated using the equation 8.84 km/min. This is because the plane has an initial altitude of 5 kilometers, at an angle of 35 degrees, and is moving at a constant speed of 23 km/min. Using the information provided and basic trigonometric functions, we can determine that the rate at which the distance is increasing is 8.84 km/min.
