  • there's a much easier way you know...

    All you have to do is back away from the structure a good distance, and with a pencil, use it to create the effect that in your vision the pencil is as long as the structure. Keeping where your eraser touches the ground, piviot the pencil from a 90 degree angle to the ground. Wherever the tip is, measure the distance from that location and the base of the structure. That is the height of the tree.

    Idk, easier math then triginometry, which most don't learn until middle school. But thats what calculatiors are for, right?

    • Not trigonometry...

      Geometry. Trig is sines, cosines, and tangents. This is just distances and lengths. People learn distances and lengths early in Elemetary school and relationships in sixth grade.

  • good video

    and good trick = 5 stars.

  • how if..

    i want to calculate the height of a tree across the river which i couldnt mesure the horizontal length..

    • then

      you would have an x and a y so it would be (random number) over x (random number over y

    • First, use a similar method to calculate...

      then you calculate the tree's heght.

  • then..

    how to calculate the height of a mountain? we cant see the peak..

  • The measurements are taken

    from the mirror, but he used his height in the calculation, Are his eyes on the top of his head?

    • Well

      I doubt it would need to be that accurate.

    • :)

      Very right

      By malikkhan 1193385874
    • Yeah...

      this is just an estimate in the video, but the methodolgy holds if you're measurements are more exact.

      By Pmonk1487 1250756160
  • Comes in handy when I'm measuring myself...

    LOL

  • nicely done

    it's simple math but it's interesting to see it actually used in real life situations lol

    By Enignd 1192945117
    • Exactly!

      Now all you have to do is find a tree that you want to know the height of. :)

  • very detail 5*

    Your instruction are really get to the point..easy to understand..like watching school education program...hahaha
