Answer: 1.435 × 10⁵ km
Explanation:
Distance of Jupiter from Earth,
D = 824.7 × 10⁶ km
= 824.7 × 10⁹ m
Angular diameter = 35.72" = 35.72 × 4.874 ×
10⁶ rad
Diameter of Jupiter = d
Using the relation
¤ = d/D
d= ¤D = 824.7 × 10⁹ × 35.72 × 872 × 10-⁶
= 143520.76 × 10³ m
= 1.435 × 10 ⁵ km

Given information:-
r = 824.7*10^6 km , Θ = 35.72" arc
To find
l = ?
Solution
First convert Θ value in kilometres.
Note:- here, we divided by 3600 that is to convert in kilometres and then π\180 to convert in radian.
Now, Θ = l / r , r*Θ = l
So, when we convert in scientific notation then,
Therefore , Diameter of Jupiter = 1.42*10^5km
