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

Answer:

O is the center of the circle with radius IE(=ID=EF)

Step-by-step explanation:

Join all 3 points D, E, F, forming the triangle DEF.

Let the midpoint of EF be M and the midpoint of ED be N. (first picture)

Join point I to E, D and F.

Since IN is both an altitude and median to triangle EID, then triangle EID is an isosceles triangle, and IE=ID

similarly, we see that IE=IF.

conclusion: IE=ID=EF.

Charlie Carr has a sheet of brass that is 33 inches wide and cuts two pieces that are each 8
denis-greek [22]

Answer: The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the width of the pieces cut.  

Mathematically speaking:

8 in +8 in = 16 in

Now, we have to subtract that result to the width of the sheet of brass.

33 in -16 in = 17 in

The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The relationship between feet and inches is described by the equation y = 12x, where x = a given length in feet and y = the equi
Westkost [7]
The answer is B, 75 inches. This is because for every for there is 12 inches. So, if you plug in 6.25 where the x is, it is saying there are 12 inches per 6.25 feet. So multiply 12 by 6.25 to get 75, your answer, B. Hope this helps
