found among the ruins of Montarek. She thinks
that one of the

two buildings was used as a lookout post to watch
for the approach of enemies or friendly
travelers. Look at your building plans of the two
buildings. Which do you think might have been
used as a lookout post? Justify your answer.

2. Emily has discovered part of a diary kept by
one of the residents of ancient Montarek. The
Diary indicates that the resident lived in the
building from

part A. Emily shows you a translated entry from
the diary After dinner I went upstairs to my
room. The stars were bright, so I made my way to
the tower from where I gazed at the stars. I can
look down on the roof of my room from the tower,
but I cannot see the tower from the windows of my
room.

the building plans you made for the building, and
the clues from the diary entry, identify which
cube(s)

Emily discovered some pieces of pottery among the
ruins of Montarek. Each piece of pottery has an
incomplete set of building plans painted on
it.An incomplete set of plans is shown on the
following slides. In each case, one of the three
diagrams is missing- either the base outline, the
front view, or the right view. Draw the missing
view and the base plan for each building.
