Question

Suppose that human beings were to grow isometrically (increasing all our dimensions at the same rate during growth). Determine the ratio of blood in a 1.8-m tall adult male to that when the male was 50 cm (typically height at birth).

Answer 1

Answered

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = length * breadth * height

here length= breadth= height

isometrically (increasing all our dimensions at the same rate during growth)

L_1= 1.8 m = 180 cm

L_2= 50 cm

keeping all other dimensions same we can write

So volume ratio = (L1/L2)^3

= (180/50)^3

= 46.65
