Answer:

The distance of Satelite from the earth's surface = 2720.12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation for distance:

Use Pythagorean theorem

Distance, d² = 5400² + 4000²

d² = 45160000

d = 6720.12

Subtract the radius to find the distance from earth's surface.

Distance = 6720.12 - 4000 = 2720.12

The distance of Satelite from the earth's surface = 2720.12 miles

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer sells 9.8 kl of apples and pears

4/5 of this weight is apples, while the rest are pears

Therefore the wight of pears can be calculated as follows

Let x represent the weight of pears

9.8= 4/5×9.8 + x

9.8= 0.8×9.8+x

9.8= 7.84+x

9.8-7.84= x

x= 1.96
