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 sides of triangle if you know the height and base?
If the triangle is right-angled then you should be able to use Pytharoras Theorem to calculate the missing side otherwise you need an angle to be able to use trigonometry
