The Huqiu Tower in China was built in 961 CE. When the tower was first built, its height was 47 m. Since then it has tilted 2.8°, so it is called China's Leaning Tower. There is a specific point on the ground where you can be equidistant from both the top and the bottom of the tower. How far is this point from the base of the tower? Round your answer to the nearest metre.
