Well, it is a good troll... I missed a perfect score on my highschool math SAT by 1 wrong and 1 omit, a 780... I understand algebra just fine. . . Thank you for being the voice of reason though peewee, without you I would seriously be lost. *goes to re-think why he is even a math major when he has such a simple mind*

Thomas's IQ is a imaginary number

Love Math problems keep them coming next time I will show my work professor Hook.

The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and B, which are 50 miles apart. When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 87.0° and 84.2°, respectively.

(a) How far is the satellite from station A?
(b) How high is the satellite above the ground?

Great Trolling Answer! :7

I do have the real problem worked out if Misery wants to see it

Some very interesting article that I came across about math and Apl

Notation And Thinking.

simple trig rules. I did the first part of that problem(approximately) in my head then got board.

(a) How far is the satellite from station A?
(b) How high is the satellite above the ground?

Another way to solve it:

(sin(2.80)/50)^-1 = 1023.5463.

Then use the Law of Sine to find b:

1023.5463/sin(93) = b/sin(84.2)

1023.5463/sin(93) * sin(84.2) = b

b = 1019.7040

Simple trig to find h:

sin(87) = h/1019.7040

sin(87) * 1019.7040 = h

h = 1018.3065

This way is easier for me. Also, I've never seen someone use the height of a right triangle to solve a problem like this. How does it work.

I got a problem later to post when I remember how it goes...

Usually my problems just fix themselves maybe the same will for you.
