The distance from the star S to the planet X is approximately 149,000,000 kilometers (km). The distance from S to the planet Y is approximately 57,980,000 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. See the figure on the right. Suppose that the elongation angle is 16°. Use this information to find the possible distances between X and Y. larger dist ce from X to Y is km. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.) X Y α Y
