<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.

Answer:

a) both have same distance

b) second park has a larger area

Step-by-step explanation:

a) park a: circumference is

75+75+30+ pi*30( the diameter of the inward semi circle is 30)

be also has the same perimeter because the diameter of outward semi circle is also 30

b) in the first park, the semi circle area is cut out

in the second its part of the park

What is the volume of the figure below?
Alja [10]

Answer:

312

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the parallalelepiped:

base x width x height

V = 5 x 4 x 12 = 240

for triangular prism:

base = 8-5 = 3

base area = (base x height)/2 = (3x4)/2 = 6

V = base area x 12

V = 6 x 12 = 72

Total volume = 240 + 72 = 312
