A certain magnifying glass when held 6 in. from an object creates an image that is 10 times the size of the object being viewed. What is the measure of a 20 degree angle under this magnifying glass?

The angle will bey still 20 degrees. The only thing that will change is the length of the sides of the angle. This however may not hold true if you are tilting the paper or the Magnifying glass. In that case you may get a Curved image rather than a magnified image.

The magnifying glass produces a conformal transformation of an image (linear scale multiplication). In a conformal transformation, angles are preserved.

Unless the magnifying glass has some sort of disortion effect due to its curvature (in practice, it probobly does) the angle will still be twenty degress.

ok, what purpose does this serve? well, if it doesnt serve any, guess what.... i feel ya, lol. cause i am so bored this summer... thus the reasoning im on here, lol. anyways.... the other people seem to know what they are talking about, and it makes sence, the angle would still be 20 degrees. but, if i was to be stupid and say its 200 degrees, would i get the best answer???? :)

20 deg
angle can't be magnify becouse the line magnify accoding to there ratio

An object 2.18 inches high would subtend 20 degrees at a distance of six inches (6.0*tan(20)).

That object would appear 21.8 inches high in such a lens.

A 21.8 inch object at six inches would subtend 74.6 degrees.

crust, mantle center all of it. The direct methods purely delivers informations say upto approximately few hundred meters of intensity purely and in uncommon situations upto approximately 3 km or so (deep gold mines). thnks

the angle is still 20 degress...the image is larger
