math problem


Recently in my math class i have come across a problem my teacher has assigned to us. I have a solution to my problem and i am open to any comments or suggestions for my problem.




Problem: The top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is about 55.9 meters above ground. As of 1997 its top was leaning about 5.2 meters off center. Approximate the slope of the tower.


Solution: I found the slope by using the equation y2-y1/x2-x1.

Answer: m= 10.75
