32

To measure a tower, Maya lies on level ground with her eye at ground level and a 22 m vertical stick placed 33 m in front of her eye, so that the top of the stick lines up exactly with the top of the tower. She then moves 2020 m straight back, away from the tower, and finds that the top of the stick lines up with the top of the tower when the stick is 44 m in front of her eye. How tall is the tower, in metres?
