Answer:

DCE is similar to AED

EBA is similar to AED

AFE is similar to AED

EFD is similar to AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle AED:

D=53(alternate interior angle)

A=180-90-53=37 (angle of triangle)

AA similarity criterion

DCE is similar to AED

angle BEA=180-90-53=37=angle A of AED

Thus: AA similarity criterion:

EBA is similar to AED

The diagonal of parallelogram(here:rectangle) cut it into 2 congruent triangles

Thus:

EBA is congruent to AFE

EBA is congruent to AFEDCE is congruent to EFD

Congruent triangles are similar

Conclusion:

DCE is similar to AED

EBA is similar to AED

AFE is similar to AED

EFD is similar to AED

The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes (ca. 276-195 BC) measured the circumference of the earthfrom the following observations. He

Answer:

Radius of the Earth is 3978.8 Miles

Circumference of the Earth is 25000 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of the sun shone at an angle of 7.2° to the zenith

This means that the angle of the sector of the circle is 7.2° (θ)

S = Length of the sector of the circle = 500 miles

r = radius of earth

Converting 7.2° to radians

$\theta =7.2\frac{\pi}{180}$

$S=r\theta\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{S}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{500}{7.2\frac{\pi}{180}}\\\Rightarrow r=3978.8\ Miles$

∴ Radius of the Earth is 3978.8 Miles

$C=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow C=2\times \pi \frac{500}{7.2\frac{\pi}{180}}\\\Rightarrow C=25000\ Miles$

∴ Circumference of the Earth is 25000 Miles
