Answer:
56 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
Let the leaning tower's be h meters tall, when it was originally built.
We can see from our attachment that the side with length 55.86 meters is hypotenuse and h is adjacent side for 4 degree angle.
Since we know that cosine relates the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Upon substituting our given values we will get,
Therefore, the leaning tower was approximately 56 meters, when it was originally built.
