A geometric diagram showing an observer's eye on the left, a horizontal line labeled 'r' (Distance), and a vertical line labeled 'D' (Height or Diameter), with an angle delta marked at the observer's eye, described as 'Number of Moons times 0.5 degrees'.
How to Draw it for your WorksheetTo satisfy the requirement of "constructing a geometric figure," draw the following:Draw a horizontal line representing the Distance ($r$).At the right end of that line, draw a vertical line representing the Window ($D$), extending equally above and below the horizontal line.Connect the observer's point (the left end of the distance line) to the top and bottom of the window line.Label your values:Label the full angle at the observer as $\delta$ (the number of Moons $\times 0.5^\circ$).Label the vertical line as $D$ (the diameter in inches).Label the horizontal line as $r$ (the value you are solving for).
