I have no idea where to begin.  A girl wants to calculate the height of a tee-pee, she is 112cm tall.  When she stands inside with her head touching the side, her feet are 64cm from the edge. The tee-pee is a right circular cone with a diameter of 352cm, what is it's height?  Any help would be appreciated! </SPAN>\n" );
