• A 160 foot tall 5 story building is shown on the right.
• A tree is shown to the left of the building.
• A line segment extends from the upper left of the building to the top of the tree and ends at a point on the ground left of the tree.
• Single congruence marks are shown between the tree and the building and between the tree and the point where the segment ends on the ground. The portion of the segment from the tree top to the ground measures 144 feet.
• A horizontal line segment connects the point on the ground to the bottom of the building's left side.
• Double congruence marks are shown between the point on the ground to the left and the tree and between the tree and base of the building.
• The portion of the segment between the point on the ground and the base of the tree measures 120 feet.
