I don't understand, the example is exactly like your question just with a different number, what's the problem?

thesmartone · Answer

Hmm. Well in here: http://prntscr.com/60sucm They calculated the hypotenuse as 4660. I don't get how they got the value of the hypotenuse..

3950+710=4660

thesmartone · Answer

620 is the distance from the satellite to the surface of the earth.
3950 is the radius.
The ninety-degrees is because the view is tangent to the surface of the earth.
