Answer 1

Friend's height is 4.8 feet.

Explanation:

"A persons' running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height". This statement is expressed

`s=1.14h`

Where
`s` represents person't stride and
`h` represents person's height.

So, if a friend's stride is 5.472 ft, then his height is

`s=1.14h\\5.472=1.14h\\h=(5.472)/(1.14)\\ h=4.8`

Therefore, according to the given relation, friend's height is 4.8 feet.

Answer 2

a person's running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height. your friend's stride is 5.472 feet.

Lets S be the stride and H be the persons height

Running stride S = 1.14 times person's height

S = 1.14* H

Given that friends stride is 5.472 feet

Replace S with 5.472

5.472 = 1.14* H

Divide by 1.14 on both sides

`(5.472)/(1.14) = (1.14)/(1.14) * H`

H = 4.8 feet

Your friend is 4.8 feet tall
