2. Discuss how the following sequence of diagrams allows us to determine the height of the Eiffel Tower without actually having to climb it. Trigonometry ? Trigonometry is concerned with the relationship between the angles and sides of triangles. An understanding of these relationships enables unknown angles and sides to be calculated without recourse to direct measurement. Applications include finding heights/distances of objects.

9. Trigonometry 324 m Eiffel Tower Facts: Designed by Gustave Eiffel. Completed in 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. Intended to have been dismantled after the 1900 Paris Expo. Took 26 months to build. The structure is very light and only weighs 7 300 tonnes. 18 000 pieces, 2½ million rivets. 1665 steps. Some tricky equations had to be solved for its design.
