This is it:
The mesurment for this tree was 440. this is how I worked it out.
-Step one: Stand far away from the tree so you can see the tree from top to bottom.
-Step two: Hold out a pencil in one hand and stretch your arm out so that the pencil is at arm’s length in front of you (between you and the tree).
-Step three: Close one eye and adjust the pencil up or down so that you can sight the very top of the tree at the top of the pencil. As shown: (sorry for the bad drawing)
-Step four: Rotate your arm so that the pencil is horizontal.
-Step five: Have your friend move so that you can sight his or her feet “through” the point of your pencil.
-Step six: Measure the distance between your friend and the tree.
Great Felila. I liked how you had pictures showing what method you used to measure the tree. You could've made your pictures more zoomed in so you can see what you are doing.
