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

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
