Observation ground point, bottom of antenna, top of antenna, form a triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "6.2 degrees at observation point, 63.8 degree at top of antenna, 110 degree at bottom of antenna.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two other, RIGHT triangles sharing distance from observation to bottom of the BUILDING. Let antenna length be h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Smaller right triangle, let r be distance from observe point to bottom of antenna. \"sin%2826.3%29=136%2Fr\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=136%2Fsin%2826.3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let R be distance from observe to TOP of antenna. You would now know r.
\n" ); document.write( "Law Of Sines again, using the non-right triangle,
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28110%29%2FR=sin%2863.8%29%2Fr\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"R%2Fsin%28110%29=r%2Fsin%2863.8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"R=r%28sin%28110%29%2Fsin%2863.8%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You would then have computed r and R.
\n" ); document.write( "The angle between them is or was found when analyzing the drawn diagram, 6.2 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Use Law Of Cosines.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If y is how tall the antenna,
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E2%2BR%5E2-2rR%2Acos%286.2%29=y%5E2\"
