How do I work out the answer for this question:

Two search and rescue planes flew out of Cairns to search for a missing yacht. Before beginning the search pattern the first plane flew 150km on a bearing of 065 degrees and the second plane flew on a bearing of 155 degrees for 120km. How far apart were the planes just before they began their search pattern.

Help would be greatly appreciated
