            A simple range finder can be made by using two meter sticks to establish sight lines to a distant object.  The amount these two sticks deviate from parallel positions is a measure of the nearness of the object sighted.  If the meter sticks form equal angles with their base line, and are separated by one meter at the near end and 96 cm at the end away from the observer, what is the distance to the sighted object?
