Answer:
a. 2865 km
Explanation:
Eratosthenes observed that the sun's rays formed a vertical angle of 7º 12 ’. Which confirmed that the Earth was not flat, assuming that it had a spherical shape, using the distance between Alexandria and Siena and the measure of the angle of inclination of the solar rays in Alexandria, calculated the circumference of the Earth.
The calculation was made with a simple rule of three:
angle of inclination of the solar rays——————- distance
360º ————- Planet circumference
And since we know that:
Well, if we are being technical, yes and the only reason I say yes is because the sun is a hot gas rock. And it gives off UV rays which is heat on earth. So, yes. It does

Answer: 140 m
Explanation:
Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the balloon will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:
The<u> trajectory</u> is <u>the path followed by the body, the distance it travelled</u> (is a scalar quantity).
The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).
So, according to this, the distance the balloon traveled during the first 45 s (its trajectory) is 140 m.
But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the balloon (point 0) to its final position (point 90 m). Being its displacement 95 m.
Answer:
there are .1 cm in a mm so you would do 88 times .1 to get 8.8
