1. The mill (A)

 

This windmill was used to crush chalk from the quarry that now forms the  Humber Bridge Country Park.

If the white door half way up is roughly 2 metres tall, about how high is the tower?

Estimate the diameters of the base and top of the tower in metres. Calculate estimates of the surface area and volume.

How much would it cost to paint it?
