8. Suppose the earth is a sphere with equation r + y?+ 22 1. On this earth, Edmonton has coordinates (sin(7/6) cos(0), sin(7/6) sin(0), cos(7/6)) and Hamburg has coordinates (sin(7/6) cos(7/3), sin(7/6) sin(7/3), cos(7/6)). Is it possible to see Edmonton and Hamburg at the same time? How far off the earth must you be?

8. Suppose the earth is a sphere with equation r2 + y? + 22 1. On this earth, Edmonton has
coordinates (sin(7/6) cos(0), sin(n/6) sin(0), cos(7/6)) and Hamburg has coordinates
(sin(n/6) cos(7/3), sin(m/6) sin(7/3), cos(7/6)). Is it possible to see Edmonton and Hamburg at
the same time? How far off the earth must you be?
