Answer:

46 1/5 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

We know each board is 2 1/5 inches high

Change this to an improper fraction

2 1/5 = (5*2+1)/5 = 11/5

Multiply this by the number of boards

11/5 * 21 = 231/5

Change this back to a mixed number

5 goes into 231 46 times

46*5 = 230  there is 1 left over

46 1/5 inches tall
