If an adult male’s height is h inches over five feet, his approximate normal weight is given by the expression 6.2(20 + h). What should the normal weight in pounds be for a 5’9” male be?

Respuesta :

If this male is 5 ft 9 inches tall, he is 9 inches over five feet tall.  Thus, h = 9.
Evaluate 6.2(20+h):

6.2(20+9) = 6.2(29) = 179.8 lb.
