I am writing an article on Eratosthenes and am having a little trouble on how he actual found the angle of the stick. Because as far as I can gather there was no series solutions for any of the trig defin no calculators. All he knew was the length of the shadow and the height of the stick. I have personally tried scribing triangle inside a circle and seeing if I could see a relation but I cant.
I think the problem is I don’t actually know where sine and cosine come from, in how they where developed from a geometry stand point.
Could someone please give some advcie on the matter please
