Since the angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is 126°, the intercepted arc on Earth would be the remaining sum of the angle of the circle minus 126°.
180° - 126° = 54°
Therefore, the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth is 54°.
So the correct answer is 54 deg.
A)
The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the line segment tangent to the curve of the Earth's surface.
