To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1.You have that the measure of the leans a 4-foot and the angle between the bottom of the broom and the floor is 72°. 
 2. Then, you have:

 Sin(72°)=x/4

 When you solve for x, you obtain the following result:

 4Sin(72°)=x
 x=3.8 feet

 The answer is: 3.8 feet
