► 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.

Heya Mate ✌️
.ANSWER
Given that the parallax angle, θ = 1° 54' = 114'
114' = 114× 60'' = 6840''
We know that 1'' = 4.85 × 10^-6 rad
Therefore 1° 54' = 6840'' × (4.85 × 10^-6 ) rad
θ = 3.32×10^-2 rad
I hope it's helpful to you....
