Refer to the following chart. Using the equation (body-size factor X height in centimeters = volume of lungs), calculate the difference in the lung volumes of a male athlete who is 62 inches tall and a female athlete who is 56 inches tall. Show your work.
Body-Size Factor
Body (cm2)
Female 20
Male 25
Female athlete 22
Male athlete 29

By now you should realize that we cannot see any chart.
(I know but I tried to make it into a chart)
get ur life
Well the chat looks um like this:
I have converted the Cm to inches for you.
Body-Size Factor
Body Cm
Female 2ocm = 7.87402}
Male 25cm = 9.84252}
Female Athlete 22cm = 8.66142}
Male Athlete 29cm = 11.4173}

(that last one didn't turn out right) D:
Body-Size Factor
Body Cm
Female 20cm = 7.87402}
Male 25cm = 9.84252}
Female Athlete 22cm = 8.66142}
Male Athlete 29cm = 11.4173}
To calculate the difference in lung volumes between the male and female athlete, we need to use the equation:
Volume of Lungs = Body-Size Factor x Height in centimeters
For the female athlete who is 56 inches tall:
Height in centimeters = 56 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 142.24 cm
Body-Size Factor for females = 20
Volume of Lungs for the female athlete = 20 x 142.24 = 2,844.8 cm^3
For the male athlete who is 62 inches tall:
Height in centimeters = 62 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 157.48 cm
Body-Size Factor for males = 25
Volume of Lungs for the male athlete = 25 x 157.48 = 3,937 cm^3
To find the difference in lung volumes, we subtract the volume of the female athlete from the volume of the male athlete:
Difference in Lung Volumes = Volume of Male Athlete - Volume of Female Athlete
= 3,937 cm^3 - 2,844.8 cm^3
= 1,092.2 cm^3
Therefore, the difference in lung volumes between the male athlete and the female athlete is 1,092.2 cm^3.
