What graph posted above? You didn't read it before posting. You are also arguing against mainstream theory, showing cognitive inconsistencies.a squared + b squared = c squared won't work for circumference, and won't allow you to see past a curve.
so if radius is 3960mi, diameter is 7920mi.
circumference is pi x diameter so 3.14 x 7920mi is 24,868.9mi circumference.
to use your right triangle, imagine quadrant 1 as in the graph posted above, so circumference divided by 4. so 24,868.8mi/4 is 6,217.2 mi.
so the circumference of the right triangle from the radius of earth is 6,217.2 miles...
Pythagoras theorem is a squared + b squared = c squared so:
(3960x3960) + (3960x3960)=31,363,200
the square root of 31,363,200 is the hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = 5600.28mi
circumference = 6217.2mi
