Asked by Jacob

For my final exam I must build a paper tower that stands at least 60+ inches. These are what I can use.

-One sheet of paper (8.5x11)
-Two feet of tape
-Pencil
-Ruler

I can't seem to find the correct way to do this anywhere on the internet, so can I get some help here?

How about thinking about how to do it rather than trying to find an answer on the internet. There is not an asnwer to every question on the internet.

Does the piece of paper have to be intact at the end. i.e. can you cut it up? If so what shapes could you use to form a tower?

I don't know that you will get sixty inches. Use the pencil as a form to make paper tubes of length 8.5 inches, the tape to hold the tubes together. Make certain the tubes join each other as you roll the next one, saving tape.

The ruler is used for cutting the paper.
