Answer:

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

Explanation:

we have given here Alexandria to Syene distance = 500 miles

the sun is 1/50th of the circumference of the sky (about 7°)

as we know that Earth circumference done by astronomer Eratosthenes in 240 B.C

He observe on a particular time of day ( in noon) during the summer solstice

and there was no shadow in Syene in Egypt so This was verified that the sun must be directly on overhead and not at an angle to the surface of the city at that time

In Alexandria he measured the position of sun at the same time and found it to be nearly (1/50)th of a complete circle

it would be 7.2 degree (when we do $\frac{360}{50}$ = 7.2)

so 2 reference points being 2 cities for the sun

all measure circumference = the distance between these two cities × 50

and we have given 500 miles

Earth circumference = 500 × 50

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

What structure encloses the most space with the least surface area

tino4ka555 [31]

The correct answer is the sphere. The amount of volume in the sphere is much larger than any other object when compared to the size of the surface area. The surface area of the sphere enables huge amounts of liquid for example to be held in spheres. It is much more efficient when it comes to that ratio than any other structure that is available such as a cone or a pyramid or a cube, or anything similar.
