That statement is both true and false.

Sure, triangulation is the preferred method, if it works. But for anything

more distant than a few hundred of the nearest stars, triangulation fails,

so we're forced to find other ways of measuring farther objects.

And by the way ... triangulation is a method of measurement, not calculation.

How to calculate prefrred dividend before devidend declared?

Calculation of preferred dividend does not depend upon the dividend declared at the end of the year. Preferred dividend is fixed and is calculated using the fixed percentage of preferred dividend. For example a company has 1000 shares of 6 preferred stock outstanding, each with par value of $100. 6 mentioned before preferred stock is the dividend rate(6%) to be received by preferred shares. Preferred Dividend = No. of preffered shares outstanding x Par value of each share x Dividend rate. = 1000 x 100 x 6%. = $ 6000. Dividend per share = 6000/1000 = $6


Why is midpoint subdivision algorithm preferred over Cohen-Sutherland algorithm?

The cohen sutherland algo requires calculation of intersection of the line with the window edge.This direct calculation is avoided by performing a binary search for the intersection by always dividing the line at its midpoint.To implement it a parallel architecture is used and hardware division addition by 2 is very fast


Who devised the astronomical units?
