Calculate the angle subtended (the amount of angle taken up) by these objects from your current location? Give your answer in both radians and degrees, so you have to convert from radians to degrees after using this approximation. a) A basketball (about 30 centimeters in diameter) in Petersburg (about 50 kilometers away). b) The Moon (you can look up the distance and the diameter). c) A nickel (about two centimeters in diameter) held at arm's length. d) The width of a human hair (about 1x10-4 meters in diameter) held at arm's length. e) The Freedom Tower (1776 feet high) in New York (about 780 kilometers away). You will have to convert both the distance and size to common units, such as meters Calculate the angle subtended (the amount of angle taken up) by these objects from your current location?
