A tracking station lies at the origin of a coordinate system with the x-axis due east, the y-axis due north and the z-axis vertically upwards. Two aircraft have coordinates (20,25,11) and (26,31,12) relative to the tracking station. The radar at the tracking station has a range of 40km. Determine whether it will be able to detect both aircraft.
