Answer:

1.68 m

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the year the student's height was 1.52m

At the end of the year the student's height increased by 10.5%

The height increase can be computed using the formula

Height Increase = %increase * Old Height / 100

= 10.5 * 1.52 /100

= 0.1596‬ m

Height at end of year = Height at beginning of year + height increase
= 1.52 m + 0.1596 m

= 1.6796 m

= 1.68 m rounded to 2 decimal places
