The Eiffel Tower does have a similar shape to that of an obelisk, however, the symmetry of an obelisk is very unique and simple. The Washington Monument is an obelisk.

I agree that Eiffel Tower looks letter "A", with a curved tip. Its true shape is somewhat more sharply curved.
Geometry was used when creating the Eiffel Tower to determine what shape would be the strongest. It was also necessary to determine angles between the bars and platforms.
Eiffel Tower contains geometric shapes such as squares and vertical triangles.
