Handy Bridge
Stefan Nielsen/Alamy Stock Photo
This bridge is located in the Ba Na Hills of Vietnam.
In a forest near Da Nang, Vietnam, two giant hands appear to hold up a walkway. They’re part of the Golden Bridge, a new attraction. It opened last June.
The hands are made of steel. They are hollow inside and painted to look like stone. But they don’t actually support the structure. In fact, concrete columns hold up the bridge.
The entire bridge measures 490 feet. You walk 200 feet. Plot these numbers on the number line below.
How far do you have left to walk to get to the end?
