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?

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?

Answer

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. $7$
