The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

<h3>Pythagoras theorem</h3>

Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. It is given by:

Hypotenuse side² = Adjacent side² + Opposite side²

Let x represent the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon

Hence:

  • x² = 6370² + 600²
  • x² = 40936900
  • x = 6398 km

The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

Triangles Q R S and X Y Z are shown. Angles Q S R and X Z Y are right angles. Angles Q R S and X Y Z are congruent. The length o
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

∠QSR≅∠XZY ---> given problem

∠QRS≅∠XYZ ---> given problem

so

△QRS ~ △XYZ ----> by AA Similarity theorem

Remember that, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

That means

\frac{QS}{XZ}=\frac{QR}{XY}=\frac{RS}{YZ}

∠Q≅∠X

∠R≅∠Y

∠S≅∠Z

<em>In the right triangle XYZ</em>

Find the tangent of angle X

tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XZ} ---> opposite side angle X divided by adjacent side angle X

substitute the given values

tan(X)=\frac{9}{12}

Simplify

tan(X)=\frac{3}{4}

Remember that

∠Q≅∠X

so

tan(Q)=tan(X)

therefore

tan(Q)=\frac{3}{4} ---->Three-fourths

Find the value of x
Doss [256]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees

x + 30 + (3x-10) = 180

Combine like terms

4x +20 = 180

Subtract 20 from each side

4x+20-20 = 180-20

4x= 160

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 =160/4

x = 40
