Yeah.. baby, do the SOH CAH TOA with the hula hoop

\bf 
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}


so.. hmmm we have in the picture, an angle, and two sides,
actually, is the "adjacent" side, and the "opposite"

so.. which  of those ratios give us only
the angle
the adjacent side
the opposite side?

ahhha!, is Ms tangent
so  \bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan(42^o)=\cfrac{h}{100}

solve for "h"

the answer is 22464, because if they marched 1872 yard for the first side, you can multiply it by 3 because there are 3 feet in one yard. Then you multiply that by 4 because there are 4 sides in a square
