The angular size of the object is Iº.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)


Sagot :

Answer:

  • 0.40°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 4 yards = 4*36 in = 144 in

Angle is x

  • tan(x/2) = 1/2 * 1/144
  • x/2 = arctan (1/288)
  • x /2 = 0.1989428794619145°
  • x = 2*0.1989428794619145°
  • x = 0.39788575892°
  • x = 0.40° (rounded)
