Conclusions

We will be more accurate than Eratosthenes, because we have accurate tools. we are going to use the percent devciation of accepted value ( % error = __| your result / accepted value |__ x 100 %). We have an advatage because he had to make his tools and we have tools that are pretty accurate like a level and accepted value we have a protractor. we will be measuring the equaltorial circumfrence. we have two schools so that we can have two different results and see what time the sun is directly over both of us.Clearly, We will have more accurate measurements than Eratostenes.Also we have better technology and more kowledge than this period of time. Our results will be most likely be more accuatrate becuase we have better tools like Eratothenes had a carved wooden and most likely to some degree unacurate protractor, well we have a standard protractor and it will be much better than the one he used. Also he couldnt have known if he was at the same latitude as the assistant we have google earth and it told us our latitude is the same as the other school.
