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 126°, what is the measure of the intercepted arc on earth? the figure is not drawn to scale.

a. 252°
b. 108°
c. 63°
d. 54°

Option D. 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of the earth as shown in figure attached.

Angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is angle PSQ = 126°

As we know from outside angle theorem formed by tangents

m∠PSQ + m(minor arc PQ) = 180°

126° + m(PQ) = 180°

m(PQ) = 180 - 126 = 54°

Therefore answer is length of the intercepted arc will be 54°

Option D. 54° is the correct option

answer: idk

step-by-step explanation:

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
