To determine the current height of Clara's sunflower, let's break down the problem step-by-step:
1. **Initial Height Calculation:**
Clara's sunflower is initially 1.04 meters shorter than Ashur's sunflower. Ashur's sunflower is 1.82 meters tall. Therefore, the initial height of Clara's sunflower can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Initial height of Clara's sunflower} = 1.82 \, \text{m} - 1.04 \, \text{m} = 0.78 \, \text{m}
\]
2. **Growth Addition:**
Clara's sunflower then grows by 0.2 meters. Therefore, the new height of Clara's sunflower can be calculated by adding the growth to the initial height:
\[
\text{New height of Clara's sunflower} = 0.78 \, \text{m} + 0.2 \, \text{m} = 0.98 \, \text{m}
\]
Therefore, Clara's sunflower is now 0.98 meters tall.
