Question

samantha points a telescope at an altitude of 32° to see the star pollux. then she lowers the telescope to an altitude of 25° to see a planetary nebula. answer 2 questions about the telescope. 1. what was the change in telescope angle from pollux to the planetary nebula? 2. how many degrees apart were pollux and the planetary nebula?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial and final angles

Initial angle for Pollux is $32^{\circ}$, final angle for planetary nebula is $25^{\circ}$.

Step2: Calculate change in angle

To find the change in angle, subtract the final angle from the initial angle. So, $32 - 25=7$.

Step3: Answer for second - question

The number of degrees apart is the absolute value of the difference between the two angles, which is also $7$.

Answer:

1. $7$
2. $7$
