15. When we look at an object, it is projected on the retina through the pupil. The distances from the pupil to the top and bottom of the object are congruent and the distances from the pupil to the top and bottom of the image on the retina are congruent. Are the triangles formed between the object and the pupil and the object and the image similar? Explain your reasoning. A Object Image on Retina

Hi please solve this question, it has 2 images please check. Please make sure it's correct. i will rate if solved quickly.
Gg 1. Assume that pupillary distance between your two eyes is 63 mm. Write a calculator that determines the object distance based on the angle that an external point object distends between the pupils. Give the angle for objects at 30 cm, 1 m, and 10 m. Give your answers in degrees correct to 3 significant digits.
Magnifying glass. Relaxed vision. Now lets’ consider relaxed vision, i.e. assume that the image is formed at infinity and do ≈ f (see the figure). Determine its magnification M = θ / θ’ in terms of the focal length f and N.
Suppose a 300 mm focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 16.0 km away. A. Where (in m) is the image? B. What is the height (in cm) of the image of a 2200 m high cliff on one of the mountains? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.)
I have already gotten the answers to all of the questions. All I need is the ANGLE for questions 2, 3, and 4. Please and Thank you. If you can please explain how you got the angle.

1. In this problem, you will determine the finest detail that the human eye can discern at a set distance. Assume the pinhole camera model in figure 2.3 of the text (reproduced below) where the distance between the pinhole and the retina along the visual axis is 17mm. Assume that the density of cones in the fovea is 150,000 elements per mm² and that the cones are arranged in a grid with no spacing between them. FIGURE 2.3 Graphical representation of the eye looking at a palm tree. Point Cis the optical 15 m center of the lens. 100 m -17 mm→ Suppose you are looking at a scene with alternating black and white lines of equal width. Assume that you are able to discern the individual lines up to the point where the image of a line on your retina is smaller than a single cone. That is, when the image of a line is smaller than a cone, you can no longer tell it apart from an adjacent line. Calculate the width of the smallest line you can discern when the scene is: a) 0.2 meters from your eye…
0: Images Еyes Acuvity Our eyes use a biconvex lens behind our pupil to focus incoming light into images on the retina at the back of our eyes. Human eyes have a diameter of approximately 2.5 cm on average. Imagine a 1.8 m tall person stands 2 m away from you. 1.8 m 2.0 m 0.025m *Image not drawn to scale 18 Draw a ray diagram showing how the light coming from this person passes through the lens in your eye and produces an image on your retina.
A 10-cm-tall object is located in front of a diverging lens with a power of -5 diopters. 1) Calculate the image distance dI if the object is located 10 cm from the lens. Follow the sign convention. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) 2) Is the image real or virtual? 3) Calculate the image height hI if the object is still located 10 cm from the lens? Follow the sign convention. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) 4) Is the image upright or inverted? 5) Calculate the image distance dI if the object is located 42 cm from the lens. Follow the sign convention.(Express your answer to two significant figures.) 6) Is the image upright or inverted?
