Answer:

An astronomer Named Harlow Shapley was the one who announced where we are in space ( Earth ). How? with the help with stars brightness ( Absolute Magnitude ) whereas to how bright a stat appears to be ( magnitude ) they use that calculation to determine the distance from Earth. Harlow Shapley couldn't do this on his own as he needed help with another one's work named Henrietta Swan Leavitt. ( Who established that "Variable Stars" could determine the "astronomical distance " )

answer: The Earth's place in the galaxy was determined largely by an astronomer named Harlow Shapley. Thanks to the regular periods of these stars and their presence in globular clusters, Shapley was able to map the distances to a number of clusters.

Could someone help me with this trigonometry question.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

About 75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the point between C and B D. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you know that CD is $\sqrt{112}$ cm, meaning that BC has length $8+\sqrt{112}$ cm. Additionally, we know that AB has length $\sqrt{208}$ . Using the law of cosines:

$(8+\sqrt{112})^2=16^2+208-2(16)(\sqrt{208})\cdot \cos(A) \\\\345.328=256+208-461.511\cos(A) \\\\-461.511\cos(A)=-118.672 \\\\A=\cos^{-1}(0.2571)\approx 75^{\circ}$

Hope this helps!
