Two boats are moving toward a buoy along paths that makes a 90 degree angle. The first boat is 165 ft from the buoy and is traveling at a rate of 25 ft/sec. The second boat is 110 feet from the buoy and is traveling at a rate of 35 ft/sec. Find the rate of change of the distance between the boats at this moment.
