Question

A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Earth and the Sun. Using complete sentences, explain how the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the moon and the Sun.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but I have to seriously question the whole process.

-- What does "the angle between the Earth and sun" mean?
-- How in the world does he measure the distance between the Earth and sun ?
-- How are either of these related to the distance between the Moon and Sun ?

To me, this "scientist's" methods are as defective as this question is.
