There are leaning towers all over the world. These towers are referred to as leaning becausethey do not stand perpendicular to the ground. Some are built that way, and others

have simplystarted to tilt over the centuries. Use what you know about triangles and trigonometry to helpfind the keys you have accidentally dropped from a leaning tower. 1. Which of the towers did you select? Draw a sketch of your tower. The height you are given isthe vertical distance from the top of the tower to the ground. Label this and the angle the towermakes with the ground on your sketch. (3 points: 1 point for selection, 2 points for the sketch) 2. Your keys drop from the top of the tower and fall straight to the ground. You want to knowhow far from the base of the tower the keys landed. Draw a right triangle that will help you solvethe problem. Label each triangle with the information you know. (1 point)
