Answers:
- Satellite is approximately <u>2446.43 km</u> from station A.
- Satellite is approximately <u>2441.61 km</u> above the ground.
=========================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming tracking stations A and B are at the same elevation and are on flat ground. In reality, this is likely not the case; however, for the sake of simplicity, we'll assume this is the case.
The diagram is shown below. Points A and B describe the two stations, while point C is the satellite's location. Point D is on the ground directly below the satellite. We have these lengths
- AB = 60 km
- AD = x
- CD = h
Focusing on triangle ACD, we can apply the tangent rule to isolate h.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = CD/AD
tan(86.4) = h/x
x*tan(86.4) = h
h = x*tan(86.4)
We'll use this later in the substitution below.
--------------------
Now move onto triangle BCD. For the reference angle B = 85, we can use the tangent rule to say
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(B) = CD/DB
tan(B) = CD/(DA+AB)
tan(85) = h/(x+60)
tan(85)*(x+60) = h
tan(85)*(x+60) = x*tan(86.4) ............. apply substitution; isolate x
x*tan(85)+60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)
60*tan(85) = x*tan(86.4)-x*tan(85)
60*tan(85) = x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85))
x*(tan(86.4)-tan(85)) = 60*tan(85)
x = 60*tan(85)/(tan(86.4)-tan(85))
x = 153.612786190499
--------------------
We'll use this approximate x value to find h
h = x*tan(86.4)
h = 153.612786190499*tan(86.4)
h = 2441.60531869599
h = 2441.61 km is how high the satellite is above the ground.
Return to triangle ACD. We'll use the cosine rule to determine the length of the hypotenuse AC
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(A) = AD/AC
cos(86.4) = x/AC
cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499/AC
AC*cos(86.4) = 153.612786190499
AC = 153.612786190499/cos(86.4)
AC = 2446.43279498247
AC = 2446.43 km is the distance from the satellite to station A.
Answer:
The number of free throws, two-point throw, and three-point throw are 135, 173, and 111 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x,y, and z are the numbers of two-point field goals, numbers of three-point field goals, and the number of free-throws (one-point goal) respectively.
The total points= 814
As the number of two-point goals was 49 less than double the number of three-point field goals she made.
Again, the number of free goals was 38 less than the number of two-point field goals she made.
From equations (i) and (iii)
2x+3y+x-38=814
[using equation (ii)]
From equation (ii),
From equation (iii),
.
Hence,
The number of free throws, z= 135
The number of two-point throw, x=173
The number of three-point throw, y=111.
