What is the angular diameter of an object that has a linear diameter of 3 inches if it is at a distance of 3000 miles?

3000 miles = 190,080,000 inches = adjascent
1/2*3 inches = 1.5 inches = opposite (iscossolise tryangle = 2 right angle tryangle back to back)
tan = opposite/adjascent = 1.5/190,080,000 = 7.8914141414141414141414141414141e-9
tan-1 7.8914141414141414141414141414141e-9 = 4.5214472469288446723046398893908e-7 degrees*2 (back to iscosolies tryangle)= 9.0428944938576893446092797787816 e-7
so 0.000,000,9 degrees, assuming your measurements are accurate

How many degrees equal 1 inch?
The question cannot be answered simply. A degree is a measure of angular displacement whereas an inch is a measure of linear displacement. If the angular displacement (in degrees) were measured at a distance r inches from some fixed point (the centre of rotation), then the linear displacement would be pi*r/180 inches.
How many linear inches in a 6 diameter circle?

How many linear inches in 40 inch diameter?
What do you mean? 40 inches = 40 inches.
How many linear feet are in a 43 foot diameter circle?
43 linear feet. The diameter of the circle is the longest distance that you can have in the circle.

What is the distance of an object that has an angular diameter of 100 seconds of arc and a linear diameter of 30 meters?
30 meters subtends 100 seconds of arc.I get a distance of 61,879 meters.
What distance are lines of longitude used to show?
None. they are a measure of angular distance and not of linear distance.

If a wheel is 68 inches in diameter and the spokes are spaced on the wheel 19.41 inches apart what is the linear distance between the points where the two spokes attach to the wheel?
18.4 inches
What equations link angular and linear momentum If you exert a force on a free floating body it will have angular and linear momentum In what proportions and how are they linked?
angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object) where x stands for cross product. angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)
How many linear inches in a 6 diameter circle?
6 inches across
What is 48.7 degrees in inches?
It is not possible to answer the question because of a mismatch in the units. A degree could be a measure of temperature and there is no relationship between temperature and length. A degree could be a measure of angular separation, but without any information on the radius (or diameter or circumference) of the circle or sphere, there is no way to relate that to a linear distance.
How many linear inches in 40 inch diameter?
What do you mean? 40 inches = 40 inches.
How many linear feet are in a 43 foot diameter circle?
43 linear feet. The diameter of the circle is the longest distance that you can have in the circle.
How many linear inches in a 6 inch diameter circle?

What is the linear distance traveled in one revolution of a 20 meter in diameter wheel?
Linear distance of one revolution = 3.14 x diameter = 3.14 x 20 = 62.8 meters
What is the length of a US quarter?
The diameter is 24.26 mm (0.955 inches) Note that a quarter is circular so it doesn't actually have a length, which describes linear distance.
