Vectors in Space · Medium problem

A drone's control software is deciding on a course: it adds the unit vector pointing toward beacon AA (bearing a=(4,0,3)\mathbf a = (4, 0, 3) from the drone) to the unit vector pointing toward beacon BB (bearing b=(0,5,12)\mathbf b = (0, 5, 12)), and uses the result directly as its velocity vector in metres per second, splitting the difference between the two beacons. Starting at height 00, find the drone's height after 11 second of flight.
