Let be the distance from tree to first measuring point and
be the height of the tree.
Find the height of the tree :
\The height of the tree can be calculated from either side by using .
From the first measurement : .
From the second measurement : .
We have two expressions both equal to height , so set them equal to each other and solve for
.
Therefore, the distance is .
The height of the tree : .
The height of the tree is .
