Estimating Earth’s Circumference: History Connection 1 m 2 of a circle 50 Over 2000 years ago Eratosthenes estimated Earth’s circumference by using the fact that the Sun’s rays are parallel. When the Sun shone exactly down a vertical well in Syene, he measured the angle the Sun’s rays made with a vertical stick in Alexandria. He discovered that

Example Using the Third Angles Theorem Find the value of x. SOLUTION In the diagram, NR and LS. From the Third Angles Theorem, you know that MT. So, m M = m T. From the Triangle Sum Theorem, m M = 180˚– 55˚ – 65˚ = 60˚. m M= m T Third Angles Theorem 60˚ = (2x+ 30)˚ Substitute. 30 = 2x Subtract 30 from each side. 15 = x Divide each side by 2.
