Using the concept of similar triangles to find the height of "GOH"
building from the yard |
|
Height of Obstacle O |
Height of Observer P |
Distance from Building to Obstacle D |
Distance from Observer to Obstacle d |
Difference between Heights of Obstacle and Observer h = O - P |
y = ((D + d ) / d ) * h |
Height of Building H = y + P |
