Answer:
The distance from the shuttle to the horizon is 7158.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
the portion of earth that the astronaut can see is the distance from the shuttle to the horizon (d)
The earth radius is 4000 miles and the satellite is 4200 miles. This can be represented by a triangle with sides 4000 miles and d and a hypotenuse of (4000 + 4200 = 8200 miles). Using Pythagoras rule:
8200² = 4000² + d²
d² = 8200² - 4000²
d² = 51240000
d = 7158.2 miles
The distance from the shuttle to the horizon is 7158.2 miles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If AB is parallel to CD
then
triangles ABE and EDC are similar
Remember that
If two triangles are similar
then
the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and their corresponding angles are equal too
In this problem
substitute the values and solve for x
Find the length of AE
-----> substitute the value of x
