What is the importance of the scale key in understanding the measurements and proportions of a map?
The scale key on a map is important because it shows the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances in the real world. It helps people understand the measurements and proportions of the map accurately.
What is the other units of measurements being used in long distances?
furlongs, miles, kilometres, lightyears etc.
Would you measure distance in kilometer or meter?
road distances in km. measurements in metres or even smaller
Explain how a proportion is used to convert measurements on a scale drawing or map to actual lengths or distances?
Hi
Mathematician and astronomer who made accurate measurements of thousands of stellar distances?
Hipparchus, an ancient Greek astronomer, is known for his accurate measurements of stellar distances by developing a catalog of over 850 stars. His work laid the foundation for modern trigonometric parallax, allowing for more precise calculations of the distances to stars. His discoveries significantly advanced the understanding of the cosmos.
What is the system of mathematics used for surveying an indirect measurements?
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics commonly used in surveying for indirect measurements, such as determining distances or heights of objects that are not directly accessible. Trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent are used to calculate angles and distances based on known measurements and relationships between sides and angles of triangles. This allows surveyors to accurately determine measurements without physically measuring every point.
What main conclusion did Shapley draw from his measurements of the distances to the globular clusters?
The sun is far from the center of the Milky Way.
What has the author Hans Walcher written?
Hans Walcher has written: 'Position sensing' -- subject(s): Angles (Geometry), Digital electronics, Distances, Electric measurements, Measurement, Physical measurements
What kind of measurements does a dial indication tell a person?
The kind of measurements that a dial indication will tell a person are small linear distances. A dial indication is often used in the industrial and mechanical fields.
What is the purpose of trigonometry?
The purpose of trigonometry is to gather as much accurate measurements of distances given little information about angles or other distances. It is used in engineering, astronomy, city planning, drafting and designing, and construction.
How do you find the dimension?
Dimensions are just the measurements of the length and width and hieght. To find the dimensions just measure the object and record the distances.
What is the biggest advantage of trigonometric becon?
It enabled cartographers to make accurate measurements of distances and land profiles so as to produce accurate maps. Nowadays, with GPS measurements trig beacons (not becons!) are less important.
