Question

*URGENT NEED TO PASS FOR GRADUATION*

built for the 1976 olympic games in montreal canada, the tower is 156 meters tall, measured vertically from the ground to the top. the tower makes a 45 degree angle with the ground. if you were to climb to the top and then accidentally drop your keys, where would you start looking for them?

Answer 1

• 156 meters from the bottom of the tower

--------------------------------

The height of the tower is the leg of the isosceles right triangle, since one of angles is 45 degrees.

The horizontal distance from the to the point where you dropped your keys is same as the vertical distance, 156 meters, because it is the other leg of the triangle.
