  1. Review for Circumference of the Earth

  2. Algebra Principles • Angles • Alternate interior angles • Ex. Theta= Beta • Parallel Lines • Lines that never intersect

  3. Algebra Principles • Pythagorean Theorem • A2+B2=C2 • Circumference= 2πr • Sin, Cos, Tan • Sohcahtoa

  4. Astronomy/ Earth Science • Summer Solstice • Occurs when the earth’s axis is the most inclined to the sun • The suns rays hit the earth in a parallel nature • The earth orbits the sun • The earth has a certain tilt • The earth is round

  5. Suns affect on the Earth
