When they are lucky enough to find a complete or nearly complete skeleton, they can simply put it together to find the height. If many bones are missing, than they make educated guesses regarding the size and shape of the missing bones, based on similar dinosaurs. Then they can construct a skeleton of these bones and the known bones to get a pretty good guess as to its height.
