Question

(Teaser) An angle that measures 6° is drawn on a piece of paper. You are looking at the angle through a×6 magnifying glass, which means it magnifies by a factor of 6. What is the measure of the angle you see on the paper when you look through the magnifying glass?

Answer 1

No change in angle it will remain 6 degrees only.

Explanation:

measurement of angle on paper = 6 degrees

power of magnifying glass = a*6

it means that the glass enlarges any thing seen through it by 6 times.

so if you are watching 1 cm object, it will be 1*6 times larger (i.e 6 cm) when seen through the magnifying glass.

It is to be noted that glass changes the size of the object, it does not change the shape of object. Th object will remain similar to the older one.

________________________________________________

Now given that

measurement of angle on paper = 6 degrees

This is a tricky question, here change of size of object is not being asked .

Since angle determines the shape of object , so angle will remain similar to as that on paper only size will get enlarged.

Hence, the measure of angle will remain same i.e 6 six degrees only. It will not change.

only thing will be that the shape of angle will appear larger but there will be no impact on angle.
