How many meters tall is the tree?
Nate heard stories about the massive Sierra redwoods in California and looked forward to seeing one of these trees for himself. On his first actual encounter with one of the trees, Nate wants to know just how tall the tree is. He places a mirror on the ground and experiments several times until he determines the correct distance from the base of the tree as well as the correct angle of incidence that allows him to see the top of the tree.
