b. What man-made structure has the record for most consecutive years as the world's tallest? The great pyramid of Giza , Egypt
1a. Throughout history, how many buildings (man-made structures) have had the record for the world's tallest?
27
At any given time, only one building can hold the record as the world's tallest. With that in mind......
3
The great pyramid of Giza , Egypt
How tall is it (in feet)? 481 feet
2. For how many years did it hold the record?
From 2560 B.C., to 1349 A.D (St. Olaf's Cathedral in Europe).
3,871 years
4
From 1349 to 1890 (541 years), nine different buildings held the record as world's tallest. All nine of them served the same purpose. What type of buildings were they?
They are all churches (cathedrals). All are in Europe and all are still standing.
How are 2 sunsets possible in the same day?
Because of the curvature of the Earth, you can only see to the horizon. The higher you are, the farther you can see.
Is there a formula for that?
6. How far can you see if you are 24 ft. above sea level?
~ Round to nearest mile ~
(In miles)
7. How many miles can you see if you're at the top of
the Burj? (2,731 ft.)~ Round to nearest mile ~

Which is 21 times further than if you were standing on the beach.
2,731β x 1.5 = ππππ = 64 miles
*Radical Operations Review
*Some of the following practice problems are taken directly from our test next Tuesday.
Simplifying Radicals
Radical Equations
π + ππ = π
( π)π= (βππ)π
π± = ππππ = βππ
πππ + ππ = π
ππ + ππ β π π΅π πΉπππ πΊπππππππs
One more to see another extraneous solution:
313 xx The radical is already isolated
2 2
You must square the whole side
NOT each term.
9613 2 xxx
Square both sides
Since you have a quadratic equation (has an x2
term) get everything on one side = 0 and see if
you can factor this

Doesn't work!
ExtraneousIt checks!
a solution that you find algebraically but DOES NOT
make a true statement when you substitute it back
into the equation.
