The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of earth’s surface. if the angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is 126°, what is the measure of the intercepted arc on earth? the figure is not drawn to scale.

a. 252°
b. 108°
c. 63°
d. 54°

Option D. 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of the earth as shown in figure attached.

Angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is angle PSQ = 126°

As we know from outside angle theorem formed by tangents

m∠PSQ + m(minor arc PQ) = 180°

126° + m(PQ) = 180°

m(PQ) = 180 - 126 = 54°

Therefore answer is length of the intercepted arc will be 54°

Option D. 54° is the correct option

correct answer:

a + bi

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.
