The International Space Station orbits 350 km above Earth’s surface. Earth’s radius is about 6314 km. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance from the space station to Earth’s horizon. Round your answer to the nearest kilometer. (Diagram is not to scale.)

2131 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theroeom states that a^2+b^2=c^2. We know that Earth's radius is 6314, so we know one of the shorter sides, (a). side c, the hypotenuse, is 6314 km plus 350 km. Plug it into the equation and then solve for b.

6314^2+b^2=6664^2

b^2=4542327

sqaure root each side and you have your answer!

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
