size = (distance to moon) * tan(angle)

the size and the distance must both have the same unit of measure (convert km to m).

The Moon lies about 380,000km away.

To what distances do the angular resolutions of SST (3″), HST (0.05″), and a radio interferometer (0.001″) correspond at that distance?

d sst=???????m

d hst=???????m

d radio interferometer=?????m
