Respuesta :
a person's running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height. your friend's stride is 5.472 feet.
Lets S be the stride and H be the persons height
Running stride S = 1.14 times person's height
S = 1.14* H
Given that friends stride is 5.472 feet
Replace S with 5.472
5.472 = 1.14* H
Divide by 1.14 on both sides
[tex]\frac{5.472}{1.14} = \frac{1.14}{1.14} * H[/tex]
H = 4.8 feet
Your friend is 4.8 feet tall
Answer:
Friend's height is 4.8 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
"A persons' running stride is about 1.14 times the person's height". This statement is expressed
[tex]s=1.14h[/tex]
Where [tex]s[/tex] represents person't stride and [tex]h[/tex] represents person's height.
So, if a friend's stride is 5.472 ft, then his height is
[tex]s=1.14h\\5.472=1.14h\\h=\frac{5.472}{1.14}\\ h=4.8[/tex]
Therefore, according to the given relation, friend's height is 4.8 feet.
