Accepted Answer

Calculate the height of a tree without cutting or measuring it.

Use trigonometry to calculate the height of the tree based on its shadow and the length of your own shadow.
Measure the angle between the top of the tree and the ground using a clinometer.
Estimate the height of the tree by comparing it to nearby objects of known height.
Use satellite imagery or aerial photography to estimate the height of the tree.
Use a laser rangefinder to measure the distance from the base of the tree to the top, then use trigonometry to calculate the height.
