Given that during a total solar eclipse the Sun is fully hidden by the Moon, calculate the radius of the Moon. (You may use the following: Solar radius 700,000 km, Sun-Earth distance 150,000,000 km, Moon-Earth distance 400,000 km)

Let's prepare a diagram with the Sun on the right, Moon in the middle and Earth on the left. Their centres are collinear. Moreover, draw right angled triangles such that the right angle opens from the centre...

Solve algebraically for a and b: 6a+b=16, 5a-2b=19

Multiply equation 1) by 2 : 12a+2b=32. There are alternate signs of b and so therefore add the equations together: 17a=51. Solve for a: a=3. Sub a into one of the equations to find b: 5*3-2b=19b=-2. The fina...
