A. 54.36 inches
B. 65.84 inches
C. 66.55 inches
D. 69.36 inches

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 65.84

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the armspan and a relation between that and height. Put the given value in the equation and solve for the unknown.

... 67.5 = 1.123x -6.443

... 73.943 = 1.123x

... 73.943/1.123 = x = 65.84

Riley's height is predicted to be 65.84 inches.
