Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How tall is the basketball player?
The rim is 10' or 120" off the ground
+ the 6" above the rim, for 126"
2.5m = 98.43" (that's a seemingly impossible reach)
Assuming that what the question really means is that his height + his reach = 98.43", then he would need to jump 126" - 98.43", or 27.57", which is 2 feet 3.57"
