The hubble space telescope orbits 600 km above earth's surface. earth's radius is about 6370 km. use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance x from the telescope to earth's horizon. round your answer to the nearest ten kilometers.

To solve this problem we will apply the concept given by Pythagoras in the description of the lengths of the legs of a rectangular triangle and if equality against the square of the hypotenuse, that is

Here,

a, b = Legs of a triangle

c = Hypotenuse

According to the attached chart then we would have to

Substituting the given the lengths into the Pythagorean Theorem.

Therefore the distance x is 2830km.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
