9. In 1990, the Leaning Tower of Pisa was closed to the public due to safety concerns. The tower reopened in 2001 after a 10-year project to reduce its tilt from the vertical. Engineers' efforts were successful and resulted in a tilt of 5°, reduced from 5.5°. Suppose someone drops an object from the tower at a height of 150 ft. How far from the base of the tower will the object land? Round to the nearest foot.
