You are standing 200 meters away from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Question

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.

please help!=[

Answer 1

uhm,

220

Answer 2

Note to rahul: the Pythagorean Theorem *is* part of trigonometry.

Answer 3

sqrt (200^2+324^2) = appoximately 381m. this is the method of Pythagoras triangle....

hope it is clear...:)

Answer 4

you want to calculate for hypotenuse.

because there is no angle given here so, trigonometric formula cannot be used here,

so, use pythogoras theorem

  hypotenuse =  Ã¢ÂˆÂš(200^2) + (324^2)

              = √40000 + 104976

             =   √ 144976  =  380.757

             = 381 m

Answer 5

Yes, your right! My boat is just about to put into the Batobus stop. The third part of the triangle is about 381 meters.
