akashgenius Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 This isnt exactly hw so u can answer it freely, just out of curiosity, more like. well, i've read about parallax and what it is and how we can calculate ditances of far-off bodies with it, i just wished sum1 cud tell me the equations with which u can calculate the distance of the body with it. thx.

YT2095 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I could be wrong, but isn`t it similar if not the same as those used in Triangulation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 just basic trignometry actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would concur, simple trigonometry should be sufficient to provide you with the tools to get the answers you seek. Although I advise against writing your answer using txtspk like in your posting, as you may get a lower grade even with a correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akashgenius Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 i dont know but i just cant help typing using txtspk anyway i get it now. you could simply use the apparent displacement and theta to calculate the distance! thanx guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
