An object a distance, d, away
having a full height, h. f is the
height relative to eye level and g
is the eye level height of the
observer.
Since 1/x = f/d due to the
similar triangles formed, the
angle, A, can easily be
determined as well as the
level. The bottom of the stick is
held at eye level and the top of
the stick overlaps with the top

height of the object, f, relative
to eye level, g. The full height
of the object is then, h = f+g
1.
What is the formula to compute the angle "A", using the object distance and its height relative to
eye level?
2. What is the formula to compute the angle “A", using stick length and the distance it is held away
from your eye?
3. What is the formula to compute the height of the of the object relative to eye level “f", using the
object distance, stick length and the distance away that the stick is held?
4. What is the formula for the full height of the object "h", using the object distance, stick length,
distance away that the stick is held, and observer's eye level height?
5. Now you will proceed to determine some object heights given a scenario. Fill in the tables
regarding each scenario.
