See Footnote 8: Why 38’? I wanted to pick a number greater than ¼ wave on 40m (33’), approximately the same height as a typical maximum height for a roof (35’), and possibly tall enough (if equipped with “top hat” radials) to work on 80 meters. At 38’, it is only 3’ higher than a 35’ ridge pole (roof peak).

A very common height for a vertical is 43 feet which is 5 feet taller. Just wondering where 38ft came from.
