You must show support for credit: part a.In the Bible story of David and Goliath, Goliath is reported to have stood at a height of 6 cubits and a span. If 1 cubit ≈ 18 inches and 1 span ≈ 9 inches, how tall was Goliath in feet and inches?

part b. The tallest person on official record was Robert Wadlow, who stood 8 ft, 11 in. What would Wadlow's height have been in cubits and spans? How does Wadlow's height compare to Goliath's?

1 answer

6 cubits + 1 span = 6*18 + 8 inches
Now convert that to ft+inches.

8 ft 11 in = 96+11 = 107 inches
Now divide that by 18 to get the cubits, and the remainder will be in spans.
