The distance from the star S to the planet X is approximately 149,000,000 km.
The distance from S to the planet Y is approximately 57,860,000 km.
The elongation angle is the angle formed between the line of sight from X to S and the line of sight from X to Y.
Suppose that the elongation angle is 13 degrees.
Use this information to find the possible distances between X and Y.
A) The larger distance from X to Y is _____ Km. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.)
B) The smaller distance from X to Y is ______ Km. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.)
