Question

da Vinci measured various distances on the human body in order to make accurate drawings. he determined that generally the ratio of kneeling height of a person to the standing height of a person is 3:4. using this ratio determine the standing height of a person in inches who has a kneeling height of 48 in._______in

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Ratio of kneeling to standing height = 3:4

If the kneeling height is 48 inches, the standing height would be as follows:

$S\tan ding\text{ height =}\frac{\text{kneeling height}}{\text{ratio}}=\frac{48}{\frac{3}{4}}=64\text{ inches}$

The standing height is 64 inches.
