A jet flies at 8 miles up and 560 miles per hour

This problem is applications of related rates.

A jet flies at 8 miles up and 560 miles per hour. How fast is it approaching you when (a) it is 16 miles from you; (b) its shadow is 8 miles from you (the sun is overhead); (c) the plane is 8 miles from you (exactly above)?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
