Basic Math

Engineers concerned about a tower's stability have doneextensive studies of its increasing tilt. Measurements of the leanof the tower over time provide much useful information. Thefollowing table gives measurements for the years 1975 to 1987. Thevariable "lean" represents the difference between where a point onthe tower would be if the tower were straight and where it actuallyis. The data are coded as tenths of a millimeter in excess of 2.9meters, so that the 1975 lean, which was 2.9646 meters, appears inthe table as 646. Only the last two digits of the year were enteredinto the computer.
