The height is (I think) 1.5 - sqrt 2=0.085786 m
If you draw the picture and rearrange it a bit, you get (this should look
like a circle, with two diameters drawn in):
/ | \
/ 1.5 | \
/ | .2 |\
/_________|________|___\
\ 1.5 | 1.5 - h h /
\ | /
\ | /
\ | /
Then, use the equation of the circle (x^2 + y^2 = 1.5^2) to find the point
(1.5 - h, .2).
