Answer:
The height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the sun has risen 32 degrees above the horizon. It means the angle of elevation is 32°.
Let the height of Sandy be x.
Sandy casts a shadow that is 9 feet 2 inches long.
We know that 1 feet = 12 inches
Using this conversion, we get
Shadow = 9 feet 2 inches = 9(12)+2 = 110 inches
In a right angled triangle,
In triangle ABC,
Multiply both sides by 110.
Therefore the height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.
