A satellite orbiting the earth uses radar to communicate with two control stations on the earth’s surface. The satellite’s orbit maintains a 10-degree angle of separation between the two stations, as shown in the picture below. Knowing that the earth’s radius is 3,963 miles, answer the following questions. Round all answers to the nearest whole number.
1. Is there a right angle in the triangle shown by connecting the center of the earth, the satellite, and Station 1? How do you know? *Assume that the line connecting the satellite and Station 1 is tangent to the earth.
