A point P is 5 m vertically above a horizontal rectangle of dimensions 6 m x 3 m. If the vertical from P is outside the boundary of the rectangle and 4 m from one narrow edge but in line with one wide edge, what solid angle does the rectangle subtend at P and what is its average illuminance if a source at P emits 1000 cd in all directions?
