Suppose that a satellite in space, an earth station, and the centre of earth all lie in the same plane. Let r be the radius of earth and R he the distance from the centre of earth to the satellite. Let d be the distance from the earth station to the satellite. Let 30° be the angle of elevation from the earth station to the satellite, If the line segment connecting the earth station and satellite subtends angle α at the centre of earth then prove that d = `"R"sqrt(1 + ("r"/"R")^2 - 2 ("r"/"R") cos alpha)`
