Estimating Earth’s circumference. Use a map of Egypt to estimate the distance between Alexandria and Aswan. Then multiply your estimate by 50. When Eratosthenes made his estimate of Earth’s circumference, he also added an additional 2,000 stadia to his estimate. Do this also. You need to know that there are 5,280 feet in a mile to find the extra miles in your estimate. How does your estimate compare with Eratosthenes’ estimate?
