Distance meter with Pythagorean mode

 

— a function that allows you to determine the length of one of the sides of a right triangle from its other two sides. One of its most popular applications is measuring the height of buildings, walls, pillars and other objects without having to approach them. To do this, you need to place the rangefinder at ground level and measure two distances from this point: to the foot of the object, horizontally (one of the legs) and to the top of the object (hypotenuse). Based on the Pythagorean theorem, the device will automatically calculate the length of the second leg — that is, in this case, the measured height.
