Archeologists Can Determine the Height of a Human Without Having h=65+3.14xh = 65 + 3.14 x

Question 4

Multiple Choice

Archeologists can determine the height of a human without having a complete skeleton. If an archeologist finds only a humerus, then the height of the individual can be determined by using a simple linear relationship. (The humerus is the bone between the shoulder and the elbow.) For a female, if x is the length of the humerus (in centimeters) , then her height h (in centimeters) can be determined using the formula h=65+3.14xh = 65 + 3.14 x .
For a male, h=73.6+3.0xh = 73.6 + 3.0 x should be used.
A female skeleton having a 31-centimeter humerus is found. Find the woman's height at death.


A) h=157.04h = 157.04 centimeters
B) h=162.34h = 162.34 centimeters
C) h=107.6h = 107.6 centimeters
D) h=166.6h = 166.6 centimeters
E) h=99.14h = 99.14 centimeters
