Question 8 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR
You are visiting the Unisphere at Flushing Meadow Park in New York. To estimate the height of the stainless steel model of Earth, you place a mirror on the ground and stand where you can see the top of the model in the mirror. The Unisphere is 100 feet from the mirror and you are standing 4 feet from the mirror. If your height is 5.6 feet, what is the estimated height of the Unisphere? The diagram is not drawn to scale.
