Two contestants on the reality show, Naked and Afraid, were looking for safe ground to make a shelter. They reach the top of a ridge and look down at the trail behind them. In the distance, they can see where they were dropped off by producers. By using a small device called a clinometer, they're able to measure the angle between their horizontal line of sight and the dropoff point as 37° and they know that the hill they just hiked up has a height of 300 yards.
