Question

Long before Europeans had devised a Leap Day, Mayans knew that a year on earth was _____. exactly 365 days 250 days longer than 365 days shorter than 365 days

Answer 1

Answer:

365.242036

Explanation:

Although there were only 365 days in the Haab year,but the

Mayas were aware that a year is slightly longer than 365 days, and in fact, many of the month names are associated with the seasons.

Fact available then indicates that the Mayas estimated that a 365-day year precessed through all the seasons twice in 1,101,600 days or 7.13.0.0.0.

Then Mayan estimate of the year will be gotten by dividing 1,101,600 days by 365,subtracting 2, and taking that number and dividing

1,101,600 days by the result, which gives us an answer of 365.242036 days, which is slightly more accurate than the 365.2425 days of the Gregorian calendar.
