Question

The use of measurement is common in all our lives, every day. Measurement is also part of national and world travel. It is often interesting to determine the measurement of landmark items. For example, your textbook described the Crazy Horse monument that is near Mount Rushmore. Pick three national or international landmarks and research to find their measurement (can be height, weight, etc.). One example might be the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris; another could be the weight of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Once you have your three landmark measurements, convert them to the metric system so you have both the U.S. and Metric measurements. Share your measurement details

Answer 1

​​​​​​Eiffel Tower

Height= 1063 ft

measurement in metric system=1063 ft x 0.3048 metre= 324 metre

Washington’s nose

Height= 60 ft

measurement in metric system=1063 ft x 0.3048 metre= 324 metre

Length= 21 ft

measurement in metric system=21 ft x 0.3048 metre= 6.4 metre
