How do scientist measure the size of the sun?
I like this question although my answer probably it IS NOT the way they do...anyway I tried this:
Using trigonometry and remembering that in India they were doing these measurements thousands of years ago (ok they were far more clever than me!) I divided the problem in two parts:

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
