Please check my work? 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

idk sorry

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, it sounds good. However I would put in the units (miles? km?) for the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks ok but you should change the word "should" to "could"

OpenStudy (chaotic_butterflies):

Alrighty, I can do that, thanks y'all!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because he is at any coordinates in which sin(theta) < 0

OpenStudy (chaotic_butterflies):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very nice work though
