Question

Transcribed Image Text:Astronauts on the space shuttle use radar to determine the magnitudes
and direction cosines of the position vectors of two satellites A and B. The
vector rA from the shuttle to satellite A has magnitude C km, and direction
cosines cos α= D, cos ß = E, cos y = F. The vector rs from the shuttle to
satellite B has magnitude G km and direction cosines cos α = H,
cos B = I, cos y = J.
What is the distance between the satellites?
