Question

The Event Horizon Telescope is attempting to image the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way using Very Long Baseline Interferometry. Using the angular resolution you found above, how big of an object at the center of the Milky Way can the Event Horizon Telescope resolve? (Please express your answer in units of solar radii.)

I was not given an angular resolution above...
