A. 339.2 feet
B. 365.5 feet
C. 382.7 feet
D. 400 feet

Answer 1

To find the height of the finished tower, we can estimate that each story is equivalent to the length of two adult humans. Since the tower is currently 25 feet tall, which is 12.5 stories, we multiply the number of stories by the height of one story to find the total height of the finished tower.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the finished tower, we need to know the height of each story. Based on the information given, we can estimate that the height of one story is approximately equal to about the length of two adult humans, which is about 2 meters.

Since the tower is currently 25 feet tall, which is 25/2 = 12.5 stories, we can estimate the height of the finished tower by multiplying the number of stories by the height of one story.

Therefore, the height of the finished tower is approximately 12.5 stories x 2 meters/story = 25 meters.
