Question

4. A telecommunications satellite is orbiting Earth. Students at two Ontario schools, that are 500 km apart, noticethat the flight path passes directly over their schools. At an instant when

the satellite is between the twoschools, the students note that the simultaneous angles of elevation are 58° and 77°. How far above Earth is thesatellite, to the nearest kilometer? Provide a diagram to solve this problem. [4] 4. A telecommunications satellite is orbiting Earth.
