A satellite in a geostationary orbit above Earth's equator has a viewing angle of Earth
formed by two tangents to the equator. The viewing angle is about 17.5 degrees. What
is the measure of the arc of Earth that is viewed from the satellite?

Secant-Secant Theorem
If two secant segments share the same endpoint
outside a circle, then the product of the length of one
secant segment and the length of its external segment
equals the product of the length of the other secant
segment and the length of its external segment.

Secant-Tangent Theorem
If a secant segment and a tangent segment share an
endpoint outside a circle, then the product of the
length of the secant segment and the length of its
external segment equals the square of the length of
the tangent segment.
