I give Thomas crap sometimes, but I like having him around, he amuses me.

You can calculate the inner angle for station A by subtracting 87° to 180 (as the ground is a flat angle).

Then, you can deduct the third angle in the triangle by subtracting (87°+84.2°) to 180° (as the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°).

To answer question a, you just have to use the law of sines.

For question b), you can draw a line from the satellite that forms a right angle with the ground.You have a third triangle, and can use the same reasoning to get the height from the ground.

 

^exactly what I did.

Pssst,  the earth is round

I think the only mistake is that he said "ground" instead of "distance in a straight line from point A to point B".

When are we going to play flex? :>

Crap,  forgot about that.  Think my subconscious blacked out anything referring to "loser bracket".

Don't I play torch first?  or did you just mean for fun?

tuesday-thursday 11-2?  Any of those days are fine,  and the most "legal" for me.

48 / 2(9+3) =

What is the answer?

What if this is written as a fraction?  48 over (which is the same as "to be divided by") 2(9+3)?  I guess the answer would be 2, in the case.

I guess since in THIS case, it was written as a left to right question, it's 288.
