As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.

What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

trigonometry (guessing)

Explanation:

ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval

periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth

parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars

1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years
