No units are shown on the angle, so we assume it is in radians. Then the distance from the sun to the star is

... distance = (1 AU)/tan(0.000302/2) ≈ 6,623 AU

_____

The tangent is the ratio of the opposite to adjacent sides of a right triangle. If we draw a line from the star to the sun, it bisects the angle and makes two right triangles. The distance of interest is the adjacent leg, and 1 AU is the opposite leg. Hence we have

... tan(0.000302/2) = (1 AU)/(distance)

Rearranging this equation gives the one above.

_____

For angles this small, the tangent is very nearly equal to the angle, so the distance is essentially (1 AU)/0.000151 ≈ 6623 AU

If Rihanna deposite 1500 rupees in the school fund at 9 p.C.P.A for 2 years, what is the total amount she will get?
S_A_V [24]

Answer: 1770 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we first calculate the simple interest which will be:

= (P × R × T) / 100

= (1500 × 9% × 2) / 100

= (1500 × 0.09 × 2) / 100

= 270

The total amount tha she'll get will be:

= 1500 + 270

= 1770 rupees
