Angles in Nature

Eratosthenes: The Size of the
Earth
Eratosthenes realized: Distance/Circumference = Angle / 360
(from Cairo) Circumference = 700 km × 360 / Angle = …
Circumference = 700 km × 360 / 6.5° = 38769.2308 km
Circumference = 700 km × 360 / 6.5° = 38769.2308 km ≈ 40,000 km
Circumference = 700 km × 360 / 6.5°
Eratosthenes: The Size of the
Earth (cont)
