Question
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and B, which are 66 mi apart. When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 87.6° and 83.5°, respectively. 83.5° 87.6° В A NOTE: The picture is NOT drawn to scale. How far is the satellite from station A? distance from A = mi How high is the satellite above the ground? height = mi Enter your answer as a number; your answer should be accurate to 2 decimal places.
