If you are d metres away from the base of an object, and the top of the object is at an angle x from the horizontal, then the height of that object is given by:h = d*tan(x).
If you want to be more accurate, or if x is small, you should add the height of your eyes from the ground to the answer obtained from the above formula..

How do you calculate weight loss by percent?
You could use a BMI calculator which gives you a ratio. The ratio is your weight in relation to your height. You can use this ratio as your percentage to measure how far you are from your ideal weight.
