    This can be solve using trigonometric function. since the given side is the adjecent of the angle which is length of the shadow and the unknown is the side opposite the angle, which is the height of chad.

    Tan (a) = opposite / adjacent

    Opposite = tan (23) * 14.3 ft

    Opposite = 6.1 ft is the hieght of Chad
