Currently, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa (with 160 stories) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which is 828 m tall. Previously, the tallest was the Taipei 101 skyscraper (with 101 floors) in Taiwan, which is 508 m tall.Referring to the information above, how much shorter in feet is the Taipei 101 than the Burj Khalifa? in feet

Answer 1

We will recall that t1 ft is approximately 0.3048 m, thus:

`\begin{gathered} 828m((1ft)/(0.3048m))-508m((1ft)/(0.3048m))=1049.868766...ft \\ \\ \approx1050ft \end{gathered}`

So, it is approximately 1050 ft shorter than the Burl Khalifa.
