Find the length which at a distance of 5280 m will subtend an angle of 1' at the eye.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let, `angle {AOB}=theta=1^{prime}`

`A B= {arc} A B=1`

`{OA}={OB}={r}=5280 {~m}`

`because`` 1^{circ}=60^{prime}`

`Rightarrow quad 1^{prime}=(frac{1}{60})^{circ}=(frac{1}{60} times frac{pi}{180})^{circ}`

`[because quad 1^{circ}=(frac{pi}{180})^{c}]`

Now,

We know that
