Sharon is drawing up a plan for building a reduced Eiffel Tower on her backyard patio. She has room to make a base of 5 feet. Her work is shown below. France: height = 1,050 feet; base = 328 feet. 1. Proportion: StartFraction 1050 over 328 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over x EndFraction. 2. Cross Products: 1050 (x) = 328 (5). 3. Simplify: 1050 x = 1640. 4. Divide: x almost-equals 1.5619. The reduced tower height is about 1.6 feet.

What was Sharon’s error in finding the missing height measurement for her reduced tower?
