Burj Dubai Tower (geometry)

.

...The Burj Dubai tower, tallest building in the world, is soon to be completed.* (click on the picture)

of the Earth's curved surface = 111km

Earth = circle = 360º

360º = 39,960km = Earth's perfect circle = Circle A


In order to travel the distance of 39,960 km in one day (24 hours), a certain object would have to travel at a speed of 462.5 m/sec. = radius of the Circle A

Area of the Circle A = 672,005.7359 m2 = Area of the Square B

C (one side of the Square B) = 819.7595598m = the projected final height of Burj Dubai tower*.

819.7595598 : 462.5 = 1.772453102 = √3.14159

The projected final height of Burj Dubai is officially being kept a secret**.
