Bob, Learned something new there. I can see how Paul Jost applies this to determining tree height with this. I carried the decimal answer I had out to the third digit and ended up with 40.87 which matches up with the supplied answer. Assuming you stayed 'within the plane' of a limb, this could also be applied to limb length as well could it not? It would rely on your rangefinder being able to resolve only the target you want, but could be done, correct?
This was my solution: For lack of characters on my phone, well substitute ^ for square and sqrt for square root. 65^ + 70^ - 2(65 x 70)cos35 4225 + 4900 - 7454.283 = 1670.717 sqrt1670.717 = 40.87 Jeff --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org You are subscribed to the Google Groups "ENTSTrees" group.
