- Galileo’s telescope showed him that Venus has a large angular diameter (61 arc seconds) when it is a crescent and a small angular diameter (10 arc seconds) when it is nearly full. Use the small-angle formula to find the ratio of its maximum distance to its minim um distance. Is this ratio compatible with the Ptolemaic shown on the right-hand page of Concept Art 4A? (Hint: See Reasoning with Numbers 3-1.)arrow_forwardCan you help me solve this step for step?arrow_forwardAdam the ant had diplacements A and B as shown. A is a distance 12centimeters and B is 8centimeters. If Adam made a third displcement by walking horizontally to the left by 4 centimeters. The smallest distance that he needs to walk in order to get back to the origin is closest to. Choices: 14cm 5cm 12cm 15cm 8cm Show solutionarrow_forward
