A sextant<span> is a </span>doubly reflecting navigation instrument<span> that measures the </span>angular distance<span> between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an </span>astronomical object<span> and the </span>horizon<span> for the purposes of </span>celestial navigation<span>.
The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as </span>sighting<span> or </span>shooting<span> the object, or </span>taking a sight<span>. The angle and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a </span>position line<span> on a nautical or aeronautical </span>chart. F<span>or example; sighting the </span>Sun<span> at </span>noon <span>or </span>Polaris<span> at night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to estimate </span>latitude<span>. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of </span>distance off<span> and held horizontally.
A sextant can measure angles between objects for a </span>position on a chart.<span> A sextant can also be used to measure the </span>lunar distance<span> between the moon and another celestial object (such as a star or planet) in order to determine </span>Greenwich Mean Time<span> and hence </span>longitude<span>.
Hope this helps!

The graph of the function LOG has no y-intercept, but has an x-intercept.
However, if we apply a symmetry toward the line y=x, then the graph
will result in an y-intercept.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4/sin(80)
which is approximately 4.06
Discussion:
From the triangle, not drawn too accurately (see attachment)
sin(80) = side opposite /hypotenuse =>
sin (80) = 4/c => multiply both sides by "c"
c sin(80) = 4/c * c =>
c sin(80) = 4 => divide both sides by sin(80)
c = 4/sin(80)
and 4/sin(80) is approximately 4.06
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
4 2/7 - 6/7 = 24/
7
= 3 3/
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 4 2/
7
to a improper fraction: 4 2/7 = 4 2/
7
= 4 · 7 + 2/
7
= 28 + 2/
7
= 30/
7
To find a new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 7. Whole number 4 equally 4 * 7/
7
= 28/
7
b) Add the answer from previous step 28 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 28 + 2 = 30
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 30) over the denominator 7.
Four and two sevenths is thirty sevenths
Subtract: 30/
7
- 6/
7
= 30 - 6/
7
= 24/
7
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(7, 7) = 7. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 7 × 7 = 49. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - thirty sevenths minus six sevenths = twenty-four sevenths.
