Answer:
<h2>The distance to the Eath's Horizon from point P is 352.8 mi, approximately.</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
You observe the problem from a graphical perspective with the image attached.
Notice that side is tangent to the circle, which means is perpendicular to the radius which is equal to 3,959 mi.
We have a right triangle, that means we need to use the Pythagorean's Theorem, to find the distance to the Earth's Horizon from point P.
The hypothenuse is 3959 + 15.6 = 3974.6 mi.
Therefore, the distance to the Eath's Horizon from point P is 352.8 mi, approximately.

Look at the image below to see the line segment of Estefani's (A), Jasmin's (M), and Preston's (B) houses. Keep in mind that the segment shown below is not accurate in regards to how the line segment formed by Estefani's, Jasmin's, and Preston's houses. It is simply there so you can picture the segment better.
In this case:
^^^Plug in these number into the formula given above...

To find what x is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the x-value part of the midpoint equation () and set it equal to the x-value of the midpoint (-5). Then you must solve for x:
= -5
3 + x = -5 * 2
3 + x = -10
x = -10 - 3
x = -13
To find what y is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the y-value part of the midpoint equation() and set it equal to the y-value of the midpoint (3). Then you must solve for y:
= 3
-2 + y = 3 * 2
-2 + y = 6
y = 6 + 2
y = 8
The coordinate of Preston's house is:
(-13, 8)
