It is approx 0.8 degrees.
To find the angular size, we need to convert the distance to the object into radians. 4 yards is approximately 12 feet or 144 inches. The angular size can be calculated as the diameter of the object (1 inch) divided by the distance to the object (144 inches), which equals approximately 0.0069 radians.
A diameter is a property of circular objects. "12 inches" is not a circular object and so cannot have a diameter.

The diameter does not affect the length. It is a separate dimension. Diameter is the cross sectional measure of a circular object.

Yes, that's correct. The angular diameter of an object decreases as its distance from the observer increases. This relationship is based on the formula for angular diameter, which states that the apparent size of an object in the sky depends on both its actual size and its distance from the observer.

Diameter.
Since it is a small angle, just divide the diameter by the distance. Be sure to convert everything into the same units first. The answer will be in radians.
Angular distance refers to the total length of the circular path traveled by an object, typically measured in degrees or radians. Angular displacement, on the other hand, refers to the change in angular position of an object, with directionality specified, from the initial to the final position.
The distance would be approximately 1.15 kilometers. This can be calculated using the formula: distance (in meters) = linear size (in meters) / tan(angular size in radians). The angular size of 100 seconds of arc is approximately 0.00048 radians (100/206265), and the tan of this angle is roughly 0.00048. Dividing 30 meters by 0.00048 gives us 62500 meters, which is 1.15 kilometers.
If you triple your distance from an object, its angular size will appear smaller. This is because angular size is inversely proportional to distance – as distance increases, angular size decreases.

The size of the object would depend on its distance from the observer. The diameter of the field of view refers to the circular area you can see through a microscope or similar device and not the actual size of an object.
