To find the diameter of the moon based on the given information, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the given data
- Distance from the Earth to the Moon (r) = 360,000 km
- Angle subtended by the diameter of the Moon (θ) = 42 minutes
### Step 2: Convert the angle from minutes to radians
First, we need to convert the angle from minutes to degrees, and then from degrees to radians.
