Final answer:
To estimate a building's height, multiply the number of stories by the height of two average adult males (about 4 meters per story) using the example of a 39-story building resulting in an estimated height of 156 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To estimate the height of a building, one approach is to use the average height of an adult male as a reference. For instance, if we consider that each story of a building is about the height of two adult males, and an adult male is approximately 2 meters tall, we can get the total estimated height of the building by multiplying the number of stories by this height. Let's take a 39-story building as an example. With each story being roughly 4 meters (2 meters per adult male), the building's estimated height would be 39 stories times 4 meters per story, which equals 156 meters.
To estimate the height of a building, you can use the number of stories and scale up from the height of a person. For example, if one story is approximately equal to the height of two adult humans (each human is about 2 meters tall), you can estimate the total height of the building by multiplying the number of stories by the height of a person.
If a building has 32 stories, you would multiply 32 by the height of a person. If a building has 94 stories, you would multiply 94 by the height of a person.
Based on the data in Table 12.26, you can determine if there is a linear relationship between the number of stories in tall buildings and the height of the buildings. You can also identify any outliers in the data.
