Acommunications satellite is in a synchronous orbit 22,000 miles above earth’s surface. points b and d in the figure are points of tangency of the satellite signal with the earth. they represent the greatest distance from the satellite at which the signal can be received directly. point c is the center of the earth. 1. find distance latex: \overline{ab} a b ¯ . round to the nearest mile. show your process and explain your reasoning. 2. m∠bac = 9°. if the circumference of the circle represents the earth’s equator, what percent of the earth’s equator is within range of the satellite’s signal? show your process and explain your reasoning.
