Suppose that a satellite has a circular orbit that is 300 miles above the earth's surface and that one revolution around the earth takes 1 hour 45 minutes. We need to find the satellite's linear speed in mph and also in rounding the answers to the nearest mph and nearest by using a calculator. Take miles as the radius of the earth.
