So I do not have time right now to make a video because I am at my house without equipment . . . but to figure this out use the formula for arc length in radians. arclength=radius(angle in radians). Apparent size to observer is (tiny) angle in radians, 886000000 is radius of massive circle and 864000 is arc length of a massive circle!! Plugging in to formula 864000=86000000(angle). angle = 864000/86000000 radians. Hope that helps for now.

So it's my first semester of trig in College and I can't figure this stupid homework problem out. I'm trying to find apparent diameter. The problem reads: The planet Saturn is 886,000,000 miles from the sun and the sun has a diameter of 864,000 miles. What is the apparent diameter of the sun for an observer on Saturn? Then express your answer in decimal degrees. Please help me!

This really helped me with my homework. I'm taking a Blueprint Reading and Sketching class at my college and the book we're using (Basic Blueprint Reading & Sketching by Olivo) only shows how to "Degrees-Minutes-Seconds" into its decimal equivalent. It doesn't show how to convert back to "Degrees-Minutes-Seconds." It was very easy to follow your explanation. Thank you, sir!

@MixandCreate01 I already have the video posted that should answer your question. On my channel two videos deal with your question. They are called: Example of Basic Trigonometry Given Right Triangle with Acute Angle and Hypotenuse Basic Trig Example Given an Acute Angle and Leg of a Right Triangle

This was so...helpful but i'm working with that with a combination of using...Sin Cos and Tan..and triangles with adjacent and beta...i have to find the rest of the sides...but what i want to know is that how do you know which side is cos,tan, or sin...??

@MixandCreate01 Give me a couple hours. I will head back to school and see if I have that video to post. If I don't have it I will make it quick. By Morning I will try and have the answer to your question posted.

Glad I can help and thank you for sharing what you use it for. I teach this several times a year and use navigation primarily as how to apply it. So good to hear that it is also used in blueprinting.

Daniel Schaben commented on 09 Aug 2013

They are used to measure angles, specifically in navigations to pinpoint your location on the globe. It is also a handy way to represent decimals if you like base 60.
