<span>0.05 arc-second = 1 degree/72000 = (pi radians)/(180*72000) = 2.424 x 10^(-7) radians</span>

<span>The distance is roughly: </span>

<span>R*(theta) = (600 light-years)*2.424 x 10^(-7) = 0.00014544 light-years = 1.275 light-hours = (3600 seconds)*(3 x 10^8 m/s)*(1.275) = 1.38 x 10^12 meters.</span>

Answer:

Diameter of the star, d=1.38\times 10^{12}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Angular diameter of the star, angle, \theta=0.05\ arcsecond=2.42\times 10^{-7}\ radian

Distance, D=600\ ly=5.67\times 10^{18}\ m

We need to find the diameter of the supergiant star Betelgeuse. The relationship between the diameter of star and angle subtended is given by :

\theta=\dfrac{d}{D}, d = diameter

d=\theta\times D

d=2.42\times 10^{-7}\times 5.67\times 10^{18}

d=1.37214\times 10^{12}\ m

or

d=1.38\times 10^{12}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

I need help on three questions. I hope it doesn't take up a lot of time.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1) x ≤ 8

2) s < 11

3) c ≤ 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x+9-3≤14

x+6≤14

x ≤ 8

2) 44>7+s+26

44>33+s

s < 44-33

s <11

3) 6.1 - 0.3 ≥ c + 1

5.8 ≥ c + 1

c ≤ 4.8
