To find the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth, we can use the fact that the angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is half of the intercepted arc.
So, if the angle is 136°, the intercepted arc on Earth would be 2*136 = 272°.
Therefore, the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth is 272°.
The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of Earth's surface.
If the angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is 136°, what is the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth?
224° 224degree 54° 54degree 112° 112degree 44°
