Suppose a laser beam directed toward the visible center of the moon misses its assign target by 30 seconds . How far in miles from its assigned target is it. ( use 234000) miles as the distance from the surface of the earth to the surface of the moon)

Explanation:

There are several ways to solve this using different assumptions.

First you need to imagine an isosceles triangle formed by:

You can solve for x in several ways.

I will use the cosine rule:

Where:

One second of degree equals 1/3600 degrees:

Substitute in the equation and compute:

oof

step-by-step explanation:

you first to choose the points and then move from then as the slope you have
