The weather satellite NOAA-15 orbits the Earth every 101 min at an altitude of 807 km as shown in the figure. The cameras on the satellite have a maximum range defined by the set of lines tangent to the Earth from the satellite. Using the radius of the Earth as 6357 km , approximate the length of the arc from A to B to the nearest kilometer. This is the maximum distance along the surface of the Earth' seen" by the satellite's cameras.
