Answer: Elaine is 135cm tall

Explanation:

Elaine's height is 75% of her father's height.

We can calculate Elaine's height by multiplying her father's height by 75% or 0.75.

Elaine's height = 0.75 * 180 cm

= 135 cm

Therefore, Elaine is 135 cm tall.

First, we need to find out 75% of Elaine's father's height:

75% of 180 cm = 0.75 x 180 cm = 135 cm

This means that Elaine's height is 135 cm, since it is 75% of her father's height.

Therefore, Elaine is 135 cm tall.
