I believe the answer is 3/8. The whole portion of employees, which is translated as 8/8 is deducted by 5/8, which is the population of male employees.
In ΔABC,
tanA = a/b
∴ a = b×tanA = 12×1/√3 = 6.928 ~ 6.93 m
Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed.
If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)
