Compute length of a limb or limb segment as the linear distance from point limb joins trunk to terminal point being measured.

NOTES:

1. Limb to be measured is represented by length L

2. Find P1 by standing under P2, using clinometer and

moving and sighting up until a 90 degree angle is found.

for the point P2. P1 is underfoot.

3. H1, H2, D1, and h3 and segments thereofcan all be measured by

standard ENTS methods/instruments. D1 is the level distance

from tree to line segment P1P2.

4. L is computed by the Pathgorean Theorem

L = SQRT(h32+D12).
