    angle θ = 110 arcsec

    = 110 / 60 arcmin

    = 1.8333 arcmin

    = 1.8333 / 60 degree

    =.030555 degree

    =.030555 x π / 180 radian

    = 5.33 x 10⁻⁴ radian.

    linear diameter = angular diameter in radian x distance

    = 5.33 x 10⁻⁴ x 25000

    = 13.325 m

    linear diameter of object = 13.325 m.
