Question 193697: Please help! When I worked the problem,I came up with answers that made the woman 3 1/2 to 13 ft. tall ( I converted cm. to in. to get an idea of how tall she be, to see how realistic the height would be). Thank-you for any help.
The function of H described by H(x)=2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerus is x cm. long. Predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerus is 34 cm. long.

The function of H described by H(x)=2.75x+71.48 can be used to predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerus is x cm. long. Predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerus is 34 cm. long.
----------------------------
H(x)=2.75x+71.48
H(34) = 2.75*34 + 71.48 = 93.5 + 71.48 = 164.98 cm.

That's about 5 ft 5 inches.
