Dh>42 because you need to be TALLER than 42 to go on the ride which means that your height needs to be more than 42. Also, height is a scalar quantity(in simpler language, you can't have negative height for example, you don't say he is -189 cm or she is -5 feet 10 inches). Therefore, h must be positive.
