SOLUTION: The function h described by h(r) = 69.09 + 2.24r can be used to predict the height, in centimeters, of a man whose femur (the bone from the knee to the hip socket) is r cm long.

Question 846277: The function h described by h(r) = 69.09 + 2.24r can be used to predict the height, in centimeters, of a man whose femur (the bone from the knee to the hip socket) is r cm long.

h(r) = 69.09 + 2.24r

h(42) = 69.09 + 2.24(42)

h(42) = 69.09 + 94.08

h(42) = 163.17

The height of the man is roughly 163.17 cm tall (note: 163.17 cm = 64.2402 inches = 5 feet, 4.2402 inches, all approximations)
