H(x)= 2.75x + 71.48
Given the humerus of a woman = 34.4 cm
So her ht = 2.75(34.4) + 71.48
= 166.08
Thus the ht of the woman = 166.08 cm

Find H(x)= 2.75x + 71.48 , where x=34.4 cm.
There is that "Glade" commercial again: "Plug it in, plug it in!!" You take the formula that is given, and substitute (in English we say "plug it in") the value of x, and find the value of H.
H(x) = 2.75x+ 71.48, so
H(34.4) = 2.75*34.4 + 71.48 (hopefully you have a calculator??)
H(34.4) = 166.08 cm.
