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 measure of the angle formed by the tangent
satellite signals is 135, what is the measure of the intercepted
satellite
arc on Earth? (The figure is not drawn to scale.)

  45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles of the quadrilateral that has vertices at the center of the Earth, the two points of tangency, and the satellite is 360°. The angles at the points of tangency are 90°, so the angle at the satellite and the central angle are supplementary.

The arc has a measure of 180° -135° = 45°.

=

x=0.8898305 is the answer to that equation
