How do you measure the height of an object too far away to measure the distance to the object?

You can use trigonometry to measure the height of an object that is too far away to directly measure the distance to. By measuring the angle of elevation from your position to the top of the object and knowing your distance from the object, you can use trigonometric functions to calculate the height.
