How do we measure the distance between two points, A and B, on Earth? We measure along a circle with a center, C, at the center of Earth. The radius of the circle is equal to the distance from C to the surface. Use the fact that Earth is a sphere of radius equal to approximately 4000 miles to solve : If two points, A and B, are 8000 miles apart, express angle θ, in radians and in degrees.
An antenna has 4 guy-wires connected to the top of the antenna, and each guy-wire is anchored to the ground. A side-view of this scenario is shown. One of the guy-wires forms an angle of α=17.76 degrees with the antenna and the opposing guy-wire forms an angle of β=22.92 degrees with the antenna. Anchor 1 is 57 feet from the base of the antenna. How tall is the antenna? What is the distance between anchor 2 and the base of the antenna? (Hint: you will need to use your answer to part (a).)
