Help I don’t know how to do this please help

Answer 1

Case: Trigonometry

Method:

Let the distance between the Sun and the Earth be 'z'

The relationship between x, y and z is:

`\begin{gathered} tan(x)=(opp)/(adj) \\ tan(x)=(y)/(z) \\ z=(y)/(tan(x)) \\ z=ycot(x) \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

In sentence,

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is the product of the distance between the Earth and the moon and the cotangent of the angle x formed using the lines from the Earth and the moon.
