Geometry: not my strong points ///.v (by ajack)?

You are standing 200 meters away from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The height of the tower is 324 m (including the flagpole). Find the length of the missing side of this right triangle. Round to the nearest meter.






Answer :

The right angle is made from the building to the ground.

Therefore you can use the pythagorean theorum to solve this question.

a^2 + b^2= c^2

you have the numbers for a and b up there.

Square each one, add them together and that will equal c^2.

Therefore you must then take the square root to solve for the missing side.
