a person's running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height. your friend's stride is 5.472 feet.

Lets S be the stride and H be the persons height

Running stride S = 1.14 times person's height

S = 1.14* H

Given that friends stride is 5.472 feet

Replace S with 5.472

5.472 = 1.14* H

Divide by 1.14 on both sides

$\frac{5.472}{1.14} = \frac{1.14}{1.14} * H$

H = 4.8 feet

Your friend is 4.8 feet tall

Answer:

<h2>Friend's height is 4.8 feet.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

"A persons' running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height". This statement is expressed

$s=1.14h$

Where $s$ represents person't stride and $h$ represents person's height.

So, if a friend's stride is 5.472 ft, then his height is

$s=1.14h\\5.472=1.14h\\h=\frac{5.472}{1.14}\\ h=4.8$

Therefore, according to the given relation, friend's height is 4.8 feet.
