If the surface is small enough, the length of each edge can be taken using a ruler or tape measure. If the surface is too large, say, the side of a building, you can use trigonometry. eg: for a building, take a point a known distance from the building's base and measure the angle from that point to the top. the building's height is

tan(angle) x distance from base
