Answer:

the height is 71.9974 inches

Answer:

The height of the rectangular frame is 72 inches.

Explanation:

Length of the diagonal of the rectangular frame = d = 86.53 inches

Height of the rectangular frame = h

Angle formed by diagonal with the bottom of the frame = θ = 56.31°

According trigonometric ratio:

[tex]\sin \theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\sin 56.31^o=\frac{h}{86.53 inches}[/tex]

[tex]h=0.83205\times 86.53 inches=71.997 inches \approx 72 inches[/tex]

([tex]\sin 56.31^o=0.83205[/tex])

The height of the rectangular frame is 72 inches.
