Case 1: ASA A satellite orbiting the earth passes directly overhead at observation stations in Phoenix and Los Angeles, 340 mi apart. At an instant when the satellite is between these two stations, its angle of elevation is simultaneously observed to be 60o at Phoenix and 75o at Los Angeles. How far is the satellite from Los Angeles?
