The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and B, which are 47 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 87.1° and 83.8°, respectively. How far is the satellite from station A? distance from A = ___ mi How high is the satellite above the ground? height = __ mi
