This will involve finding an arctangent.
We'll consider the woman's height as the "opposite" side of a triangle and the shadow as the "adjacent" side.  The angle that the Sun makes equals the arc tangent of that angle.
tan (Sun's angle) = 71" / 36"
tan (Sun's angle) = <span> <span> <span> 1.9722222222 </span> </span> </span>
when we determine the arc tangent of 1.9722222222, it will equal the Sun's angle.
arc tangent of 1.9722222222 = 63.113 degrees

r\approx0.139

1) Since this is a Continuously Compounded operation in a 10 yrs period, then we can write out the following equation:

\begin{gathered} A=Pe^{rt} \\  \end{gathered}

2) Plugging into the equation the given data and since Otto is 20 yrs old and he plans to get $4,000 in ten years, we can write out:

\begin{gathered} 4000=1000e^{\mleft\{10r\mright\}} \\ \frac{4000}{1000}=\frac{1000e^{10r}}{1000} \\ 4=e^{10r} \\ \ln (4)=\ln (e)^{10r} \\ 10r=\ln (4) \\ r=\frac{\ln (4)}{10} \\ r=0.1386 \end{gathered}

3) Thus the rate Otto needs is

r=0.1386\approx0.139

Note that since the 0.1386 the six here is greater than 5 then we can round up to the next thousandth, in this case: 0.139. For the 0.1386 is closer to 0.139 (0.004) than to 0.138 (0.006).
