2*pi
C1=pi*d
We will work in feet.
5280 ft x 250000 mi = 132,000,000 ft
132,000,000 = pi*d
d= 132,000,000/pi
C2=pi*(d1+2)
C2=pi*(132,000,000/pi + 2)
C2=132,000,000 + 2*pi
C2-C1= 2*pi
C1=pi*d

Approximately 100,000 mi total for circumference 2.
Approximately 75,000 miles difference
Approximately 75,000 miles difference

The picture of earth you posted is not a globe. That’s a flat circle.

Part 2:
Assumptions:
1. A globe the size of a regulation basketball (no surface features; smooth)
2. A yellow string on the surface of the basketball at the circumference.
3. A second red string sits directly over the yellow string, but 1 foot above the surface all the way around.
Question: What is the difference in length between the yellow string and the red string?

Are you fricking kidding me? The OT is stupid. It can't figure out PEMDAS.
L1 = 2 * pi * r1
L2 = 2 * pi * r2
r2 = r1 + 1 ft
L2 = 2 * pi * (r1 + 1 ft)
L2 - L1 = [2 * pi * (r1 + 1 ft)] - [2 * pi * r1]
L2 - L1 = (2 * pi) (r1 + 1 ft - r1)
L2 - L1 = (2 * pi) ft
L2 - L1 ~ 6.2 ft
ETA: The savvy among you will notice that the above calculation doesn't ever use the actual radii directly and the only value input is the additional foot of radius...

Wait, is a geometrist a thing?

6.28 feet
pi(D2-D1)= pi(2) = 6.28 feet
pi(D2-D1)= pi(2) = 6.28 feet

shite... Let's see if I can remember this.
There is 5280 ft in a mile so 25,000 miles is 132,000,000 feet.
So C1 = 132,000,000 R1= C1/2(3.14)
So C2 = 132,000,001 R1= C2/2(3.14)= 21,019108.4?

You sir are incorrect!
Proof the earth is not flat...
Aside from cats being jerks, clear proof of a round earth (with gravity) as if the earth were flat cats would already have knocked everything over the edge by now.

Apparently you’ve never seen a math thread on the OT before. PEDMAS might as well be rocket surgery to 99.99% of posters.
