Answer: 5.88 feet tall

Explanation:

Using this formula

Interest =principal×rate×time/100

Principal is the actual growth=3ft

Rate is the 32%

Time is 3yrs

Interest =3×32×3/100

Interest =2.88

To get the value for 3yrs,add the interest to the principal value

Exact value in 3yrs=

3+2.88

=5.88 feet tall
