This is for an astronomy class. I need a step by step break down of how to solve problems like this
5) The International Space Station is about 90 meters across and about 380 kilometers away. One night t appears to be the same angular size as Jupiter. Jupiter is 143,000 km in size. Use serxa to figure out how far away Jupiter is in AU Note: 1 AU= 1.5 x 10-km a) 6.0 x 10 Au b) 4.0 AU c) 9.1 x 1010 AU d) 4.0 x 10 AU

Solution

S = r where is in radian measure.

is the same for both the station and Jupiter

= s/r = s/ r.

Writing all distances in km

0.09 /380 = 143000/ r.

r.= 6.03778x10^8 km
