The formula to approximate the hieght (h) of a male, in inches, is shown below, where t is the length of the tibia bone, in inches.

h=2.4t+32.2

Paul's height is 69.4 inches. What is the approximate length, in inches, of paul's tibia bone?
Answered by Ms. Sue
69.4 = 2.4t + 32.2

Solve for t.

Answered by curtina blue
2.4t=69.4+32.2
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

In this step, you need to subtract 32.2 from each side of the equation.

You still haven't found the length of the tibia bone.

Answered by curtina blue
is it 37.2

Good heavens! Paul's tibia is over 3 feet long! He must be a giant, yet he's less than 6 feet tall.
