What does height equal?
The distance in the vertical direction.
Can you finish this analogy clock is to time as ruler is to .?
Clock is to time as ruler is to distance.
What is the maximum and minimum possible difference between two boys who observe the angle of elevation of a 50m tall tower to be 30 and 45 degrees?
The max. distance between the two boys will be 36.6 ft. if they are lying with their faces on the ground. The min. distance between them depends on how tall they are (height of eye). Say height of eye is 5 ft. then the distance between them will be 32.94 ft.
When you use a formula to calculate the area of a triangle does it matter which base - height pair you use.?
The side you use as the base does not matter. What does matter is that the height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the other vertex. If there is a right angle in the triangle, then use the two sides next to it as the base and height. Otherwise a bit of trigonometry will be required to work out the height of the triangle if it is not given.
How could you measure the height of a tree at noon when the sun is directly overhead and the tree casts no shadow?
Your best bet here would be to use trigonometry. One stand a given distance away from the tree and sight the top of the tree, say with a clinometer, to measure the angle of elevation. Then knowing the angle and the distance you are from the tree, the height of the tree can be calculated with a tangent function.

Was the difference between height and slant height?
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.
How do you calculate the height an object reaches using only time and acceleration g?
Assuming (a) an initial velocity of zero, and (b) constant acceleration, the formula becomes: distance = 0.5 at2 (distance = 1/2 times acceleration times time squared).
How do you measure human height with tape measure?
Measure human height by the transitive property. Stand up against the wall and make a mark at your height. Then measure the distance from the floor to the mark. You are as tall as the mark is above the floor.

When a football kicked reaches its maximum height how does its speed compare to its initial speed?
When it's at its maximum height its speed will be zero.
What is the formula for working out the height of a tree?
Formula for working out height of a tree is (distance from eye to base of tree/distance from eye to base of stick) x length of stick = tree height.(distance from eye to base of tree/distance from eye to base of stick) x length of stick = tree height is the formula for working out height of a tree.
