Recently, about 70 metric tons of soil were removed from under a leaning​ tower, and the angle the tower made with the ground was increased by about 0.6°.Before​ that, a point near the top of the tower was 49.3 m from a point at the base​ (measured along the​ tower), and this top point was directly above a point on the ground 4.51 m from the same base point. See the given figure. How much did the point on the ground move toward the base​ point?  The point on the ground moved ____ m toward the base point. (Round to 2 decimal places as needed).
