At noon, ship AA is at the origin and ship BB is at (10,0)(10, 0), with distances in km. Ship AA sails with constant velocity ⟨3,4⟩\langle 3, 4\rangle km/h and ship BB with constant velocity ⟨−1,2⟩\langle -1, 2\rangle km/h. Find the smallest distance between the two ships, in km, in simplest radical form.
