Most people should not reply to such topics.
The height of the tower is 620 meters.
You have to find the angles of your triangle with 20k and 2k sides then plug in 6.5k for the base with the same angles.

...Did they pass a new law that says KM = M?


It's not a unit, it's a prefix. You're not converting anything, simply expanding the prefix to numeric form.

Converting it is a common misconception.

Sup, dumbass.

He obviously doesn't because he capitalized the M.

Last time I checked M was a prefix itself.
