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.
satellite
If the angle formed by the tagent satellite signals is 126°, what is the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth?
22 deg
54 deg
180 deg
64 deg
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.
