ENTS,
Problem #2 is attached. It is a problem of great practical significance. It involves computing the horizontal offset distance of the crown point from the trunk. As many Ents will recognize from our many discussions, t he horizontal offset distance is the source of many tangent-based calculations of tree height. With laser and clinometer, we can calculate this distance quite easily. The problem calls for a derivation of the formulas needed to compute the horizontal offset. The diagram included in the attachment should make the problem clear.
