It can easily be measured by using a protractor and measuring the angle between the ground and the top of the tree. You need to know exactly how far you are from the tree. Then you can use trigonometry to calculate the height of the tree. Tan (angle in degrees) = height of tree / distance from tree

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.
