What is a Height From Distance Calculator?

A Height From Distance Calculator is a tool used to estimate the height of an object based on the horizontal distance from the object and the angle of elevation. This type of calculator is commonly used in fields such as surveying, construction, and navigation to determine the height of buildings, trees, or other structures.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the tangent of the angle:

\[ \tan(30^\circ) = 0.577 \]

Step 2: Multiply the distance by the tangent of the angle:

\[ \text{H} = 100 \times 0.577 = 57.7 \text{ meters} \]

Therefore, the height from the distance is 57.7 meters.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the tangent of the angle:

\[ \tan(45^\circ) = 1 \]

Step 2: Multiply the distance by the tangent of the angle:

\[ \text{H} = 150 \times 1 = 150 \text{ meters} \]

Therefore, the height from the distance is 150 meters.
