Question

Example 2,8 The moon is observed from
two diametrically opposite points A and B
on Earth. The angle o subtended at the
moon by the two directions of observation
is 1°54'. Given the diameter of the Earth to
be about 1.276 x 107 m, compute the
distance of the moon from the Earth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The moon is observed from two diametrically opposite points A and B on earth. The angle `theta` substended at the moon by the two directions of observation is `1 ^ 54\'. ` Given the diameter of earth to be about `1.276xx10^7m,` calculate the distance of moon from earth.Sep
