% decrease is calculated by = [ (New Value - Old Value) / Old Value × 100

63 - 140 = -77

-77/140 = -0.55

- 0.55 x 100

To find the percent decrease

Take the original price and subtract the new price

140-63 =77

Multiply by 100 to get the percent

.55*100 = 55%

55% decrease since the price got lower

What is the distance in meter of an object that has an angular diameter of 30 arcseconds and a linear diameter of 10 cm?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Distance of object = 0.0144 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angular diameter = 30 arcseconds = 30[100 / 3600]

Length of diameter = 10 cm

Find:

Distance of object

Computation:

Distance of object = [(2)(a)][TanФ / 2]

Distance of object = [(2)(10)][Tan(300 / 7200]

Distance of object = [20][Tan 0.04167]

Distance of object = [20][0.00072]]

Distance of object = 0.0144 meter
