[QUOTE="Einstein, post: 106188, member: 288"] The math is pretty easy to do. A long time ago I came across a figure of a ships mast being 100 feet tall, that would disappear from view at 13 miles distance. Those two measurements make up two sides of a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean Theorem the length of the third side can be calculated. Knowing the length of all three sides of the triangle allows you to calculate the angle between the hypotenuse and the longer side. Using the rules, "SOH", "CAH", "TOA". Then just divide that angle into 360 degrees. That would give you the number of triangles it would take to surround the earth. If you multiply that number by the length of the hypotenuse, you get an approximate circumference of the earth. At the time I did this, I got around 25,000 miles. I figured this out on my own in the twelfth grade. [/QUOTE]
