Question

How tall is Raj? Round answer to two decimal places.Raj is ____ feet tall.

Answer 1

Given the information on the picture, we have the following right triangle:

then, to find the height, we can use the tangent function to get the following:

`\begin{gathered} \tan (32)=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{adjacent\text{ side}}=(h)/(10) \\ \Rightarrow h=10\cdot\tan (32)=6.25 \\ h=6.25 \end{gathered}`

therefore, Raj is 6.25 feet tall
