I think somone , smarter than me , will have a answer,,,, "you are
driving down the hiway and see a cell/antenna tower, it is off the
hiway but you don't know how far,,,, and you would like to know how
tall the tower is,,,????? Is there a simple (kiss) way to find out?
thanks in advance. cl.


Measure the length of the shadow, and record the time. Look up what the
height of the sun was at that pouint in time from tables, and use geometry.
