Bird to ground directly below, 2 meters;
\n" ); document.write( "That point directly below, along the ground, to the birdpath, 4 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "Angle below the bird, 90 degree.
\n" ); document.write( "Angle from the bird to the nearest point of the birdpath to the point directly below the bird, some angle x.\r
