By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

<h3>How to estimate the height of the stainless steel globe</h3>

By physics we know that both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are same. Thus, we have a <em>geometric</em> system formed by two <em>proportional right</em> triangles:

5.6 ft / 4 ft = h / 100 ft

h = (5.6 ft × 100 ft) / 4ft

h = 140 ft

By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.
