Question

Solve the given problem. 1. The angles of elevation of an artificial satellite measured from two earth stations, situated on the same side of the satellite, are found to be \( 30^{\circ} \) and \( 60^{\circ} \). The two earth stations and the satellite are in the same vertical plane. If the distance between the earth stations is 4000 km , find the distance of the satellite from the earth.

          Solve the given problem.
