Answer:
21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the formula
[tex]h = 1.88f + 32.01[/tex]
Where h is the height of a male person as a function of the length of the femur (thigh bone), here called f.
We are also given that for a specific subject, h = 71. We must find the value of f by isolating it from the formula
Operating
[tex]h -32.01 = 1.88f[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle f=\frac{h -32.01}{1.88}[/tex]
Replacing the value of h = 71
[tex]f=\displaystyle \frac{71 -32.01}{1.88}[/tex]
f=20,74 inches
Rounding to the nearest integer
f=21 inches
