A satellite, B, is 17,000 miles from the horizon of earth. Earth's radius is about 4,000 miles. Find the approximate distance that satellite is from Earth's surface. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

Respuesta :

I visualize a right triangle, you know two sides: 4000 miles, and 17,000 miles. Solve for the hypotenuse, and subtract 4,000 

hypotenuse=sqrt(4^2 + 17^2)=17,464 

now subtract 4,000 miles.

The answer is A 13,464 miles.
