Answer:

An Astrolabe

Explanation:

As we know that we need to find the positions of Sun and Stars

So here we will analyze the given options

1) A Caravel

2) A Carrack

above both are two different types of Sailing ships so they can not be the answers as we can not measure the positions of sun and star with the help of ship

4) Compass

It is magnetic needle placed in horizontal plane and it is used to find out the directions and worked on the magnetic field of Earth

3) An Astrolabe

This devise is used to find out the position of Sun and other Celestial bodies and used by astronomers in past time

so correct answer will be

An Astrolabe

iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) Total area is 14.5 roods

(b) Total area is 14674.522 square meters

Explanation:

Area occupied by land = 3 acres

1 acre = 40 perches by 4 perches = 160 square perches

3 acres = 3×160 = 480 square perches

Area occupied by livestock = 25 perches by 4 perches = 100 square perches

Total area = 480 + 100 = 580 square perches

1 rood = 4 perches by 1 perch = 4 square perches

580 square perches = 580/4 = 14.5 roods

(b) Total area = 580 square perches

1 perch = 16.5ft = 16.5/3.2808 = 5.03 meters

580 square perches × (5.03 meters/1 perch)^2 = 580 ×25.3009 square meters = 14674.522 square meters
