You count how many feet (12 inches) high it is.
To calculate the boiling point elevation of a solution, you can use the formula: Tb i Kf m. Tb is the boiling point elevation, i is the van't Hoff factor, Kf is the cryoscopic constant, and m is the molality of the solution.
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

Invert elevations can usually be found directly on as-built drawings of the sewer facility. The simplest way to calculate an invert elevation of a manhole is to measure the depth of the manhole from the surface to the pipe invert. The invert elevation equals the ground or rim elevation minus this depth. If you do not know the rim elevation or invert elevation, a surveyor must measure the invert and/or rim elevation with reference to a nearby elevation benchmark (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Elevation_Benchmark.jpg). Also, upstream and downstream invert elevations in a manhole typically differ by about 0.1 feet.
To calculate numbers: elevation/deflection/range/ etc.
To calculate elevation gain during a hike or trail run, you can use a GPS device or a topographic map. The elevation gain is determined by subtracting the lowest point of the trail from the highest point. This gives you the total vertical distance climbed during the hike or run.
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
Elevation of point + whatever reading from Meter Rod= HI
To calculate the total relief on a topographic map, subtract the elevation of the lowest contour line from the elevation of the highest contour line within the map area. This difference represents the total vertical distance between the highest and lowest points on the map.
The boiling point elevation of a solution can be determined by using the formula: Tb i Kf m, where Tb is the boiling point elevation, i is the van't Hoff factor, Kf is the cryoscopic constant, and m is the molality of the solution. By plugging in the values for these variables, one can calculate the boiling point elevation of the solution.
the main applicative use of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation is to calculate the molecular mass of a non volatile solute in a pure solvent.
