Two photographs of the moon were taken at precisely the same time from two locations. The lunar angles of elevation at city A and at city B were measured as 51.6954° and 51.7425°, respectively. The two cities are 397 kilometers apart. Calculate the distance to the moon from city A on this day, and compare it with the actual value of 406,000 kilometers. Disregard the curvature of Earth in this calculation. Moon Not to scale. city A city B Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Round to the nearest thousand as needed.) O A. The distance to the moon from city A is about km, which compares favorably to the actual value. O B. The distance to the moon from city A is about km, which does not compare favorably to the actual value.
