A symmetric pyramidal tower needs a portion of its top layer repaired. The angle at which the tower meets the ground is 45°. The height of the tower is 82 meters. A piece that is 2 meters wide is to be repaired along the entire side of the tower. What is the approximate area to be repaired? Note that the image is not drawn to scale.
