Global positioning satellites (GPS) can be used to determinepositions with great accuracy. The system works by determining thedistance between the observer and each of several satellitesorbiting Earth. If one of the satellites is at a distance of 20,000km from you, what percent accuracy in the distance is required ifwe desire a 5 meter uncertainty?

How many significant figures do we need to have in the distance?
