In each measurement, and the average value of D. from its three resulting values: d" (in mm) l" (in mm) D=(d/l)*150,000,000 km Average: don't average data) In the table above, in the first measurement taken at 3:10pm, the value of d is 55.7 mm, while l is 5,998 mm. Substituting these values to the derived formula for D, which is D = (d/l) L, we get D = (55.7mm/5,998mm)(150,000,000km), or D = 1,392,964.32km. For
