cool, thanks guys

hmm...seems easier than i thought. Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any way to show this using a triangle?

Hey guys, With that rumor around the internet that Mars will look as big as the moon, i was wondering how far the Mars would be from the Earth for it to really look that big. show an equation that shows the distance from Earth to Mars where Mars would have the same diameter as the moon, when...

Ok that makes sense. I did 3 * 4^x = 12 ^(1+x) and 4 * 2^x = 8^(1+x), which i now realize is incorrect.

it was (4^x) * (2^x) not 4x * 2x, but nevertheless i was able to find that there was no solution because the discriminant was negative. (12^1+x) + (8^1+x) (u^2) + u + 8 = 0 (b^2) - 4ac = 1 - 32 = no real solution. i was also able to solve the first one. ( though i won't post my work). I...
