The moon forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun during one of its phases, as shown below: A right angle triangle is shown with the Earth at the right angle. The acute angle between the line joining the Earth and the m

A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Earth and the Sun. Using complete sentences, explain how the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the moon and the Sun.

here information

Step-by-step explanation:

it is real to

OK! Thank you for the question! Give me an moment once I update this with the correct answer

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)
