You could if you wanted to, but you must do so in fractions of a kilometers, it is more sensible to do so with feet or meters.
kilometers * * * * * You could, but most people would use metres. A normal tree would be 5 to 20 metres in height - 0.005 kilometres to 0.020 km - although some in tropical forests and the giant redwoods are much taller.. General Sherman, the record holder is 83.8 metres in height (0.0838 kilometres).
there are 101 floors it is also the tallest building in the world
The best unit to measure the height of a house would be meters. Meters are commonly used for measuring the height of buildings and structures due to their practicality and ease of understanding. Centimeters would be too small a unit for measuring the height of a house, while decimeters and kilometers would be too large for this purpose.
from trigonometry - (you'll need a table or calculator) - the "tangent" function is the ratio of the opposite side of a right triangle to the base. in your example, the opposite side is the "height" of the tower, the base is the "distance you're standing from the tower", and the angle is measured from where you're standing to the top of the tower. alternately, without having "tangent" tables or a calculator, you can make 2 triangles using something of a known height (a 1 meter stick, or something else) - create a 2nd triangle using the "object of known height" with the same incidence angle as the tower and measure the distance from you to the "object of known height" and the distance from you to the tower. the height of the tower = (height of known object) * (distance to the tower) / (distance from you to known object)
If you are referring to the Eiffel Tower** It stands about 320 meters, or about 1050 feet tall. It would share the height of a common 81-story building.
