Question

Robbie the Robot is on a weather satellite orbiting Earth about 3600 km above the surface. The Earth’s radius is about 6400 km. He has had a malfunction in his output device, and the satellite is traveling without communication. His last report was only in terms of trigonometric values and was only partially received. It said, sin Θ < 0… and then he was lost again.
Part 1: Create a set of coordinates that would be reasonable for Robbie’s position in space and satisfy his last, partial report. Using complete sentences, describe Robbie’s location and your reasoning.

Is this science ir math

It asks for the values of the Sin(theta),Cos(theta) and Tan(theta) using your coordinate point. So basically this is what you do, you take, 

For Sin its,
Sin=1736 / 10000 = 0.1736 . that's your Sin(theta) values. 

Then for Cos(theta its, 
Cos=9848/10000= 0.9848 that's your cos(theta)

 v for your last part which is, tan, its   

 tan=1736 / 9848= 0.1763

So you have,
Sin=1736/1000=(0.1736)
Cos=9848/1000=(0.9848)
Tan=1736/9848=(0.1763)

how did you get the values for the point though?
