What are some details about the Eiffel tower?
It was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel as a contribution to the world fair in Paris (France) in 1889, it is approximately 320+meters. It's famous for its views of the city of Paris, and is a cliche 'romantic' site now, structurally it is a 'beautifull' piece of engineering but was only built as a temporary measure for the world fair...its now about 120years old and world famous construction! The Eiffel tower is 3 floor high (for french people, 4 floor high for Americans). Every floor is painted in a slightly different colour to give the impression it is painted the same colour from ground to the top. Because of its height, if it was painted the same colour, you would be shocked, given the impression it is painted in different colours. The Eiffel tower is very heavy and it built on the weak land of the shore of the river Seine (left bank). Its weight had to be lowered. So Eiffel divided it the most he could (the reason of the four feet of the tower divided in feet too). Considering a square inch, Eiffel managed that his tower pressures less the ground than the heel of stiletto heels on the same surface.
Why is the eiffel tower shaped like a big A?
It's just a sensible way to build a tall tower. A wide base for good support, then gradually narrower for less weight and less influence from wind. And since it was designed to be visited by the public, they used full floors instead of simple crossbraces to tie the legs together.
Is Nice France 100 miles or less to the Eiffel Tower?
Nice, France toParis is approximately 687 km427 miles 371
Do you have to pay to see the Eiffel tower?
No, but to climb on it, you do have to pay. The stairs are less expensive than the elevator, so I'd take them instead of the elevator.

Is the eifle tower a right triangle?
nope. a right triangle means that one angle is 90 degrees. the Eiffel tower has two angles that are less than 90. and one angle that is very small and thin
What is the effect of thermal expansion in Eiffel tower?
The Eiffel tower is made of metal, which has the property to expand a little when exposed to heat. So as the side of the Eiffel tower which is exposed to sun expands a little, the summit of the antenna atop of the tower moves in the opposite direction. The span of the movement was calculated by Eiffel's team before buiding it, and the move at the very top described an oval of only a few centimeters (the oval could fit inside your dinner plate). That should be even less today as some metal beams most subject to the expansion had been replaced with a different metal to limit that phenomenon and the stress it could put on the structure.
Why the height of the Eiffel Tower changes by 7.5m between summer and winter?
The height of the Eiffel tower changes by 7.5 centimeters (not meters, that would be a huge change). This is about 3 inches. The Eiffel tower is made of iron and the change is due to the metal dilatation and contraction as the temperature changes. During the course of an hot summer day, as the sun goes round, the tip of the Eiffel tower moves in an ellipse of less than 20 centimeters (the length of an adult's hand). Even before the tower was built in 1889, engineers had already made an accurate calculation of that phenomenon.
What is the height of the Eiffel Tower less the number of players on the current New York Mets roster times the number of Osmond brothers and sisters?
