You arrive at the Burj Khalifa. You and your friend go to the observation deck. When at the observaation deck, your friend notices a plaque stating the height of the observation deck as 442m high. he asked you why your estimate was so different to the actual height. what was the difference and what assumptions could have caused you to make the error?
