How do you calculate it if you get an LRG of .00213 on both?

The LRG just tells you how fast you are rotating.

If you were rotating at 0.00213°/second and an object was orbiting you at twice that rate, it would be orbiting at the approximate altitude that geosynchronous satellites orbit at.

Don't they teach this kind of thing in school?
