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

Estimating Earth’s Circumference: History Connection
m 2 150 of a circle
Using properties of parallel lines, he knew that
m 1 = m 2
He reasoned that
m 1 150 of a circle
The distance from Syene to Alexandria was believed to be 575 miles

How did Eratosthenes know that m 1 = m 2 ?
SOLUTION
Angles 1 and 2 are alternate interior angles, so

By the definition of congruent angles,
m 1 = m 2
Because the Sun’s rays are parallel,
Example
Using the Third Angles Theorem
Find the value of x.
SOLUTIO
NIn the diagram, N R and L S.From the Third Angles Theorem, you know that M T.
So, m M = m T.From the Triangle Sum Theorem, m M = 180˚– 55˚ – 65˚ = 60˚.
m M = m T
60˚ = (2 x + 30)˚
30 = 2 x
15 = x
Third Angles Theorem
Substitute.
Subtract 30 from each side.
Divide each side by 2.
