Anne works as a veterinary technician for Caring Companions

Anne works as a veterinary technician for Caring Companions Animal Clinic in Santa Cruz, California. The clinic participates in research involving the anatomy of dogs. In a paper, Anne found the following formula relating the estimated shoulder height H (in centimeters) to the internal dimension of the dog’s skull D (in cubic centimeters): H=1016D-31.2 . Anne found a skull of a dog at the clinic and measured it to be 75 cubic centimeters. What is the dog’s estimated shoulder height?

Solution

H = 1016D -31.2

Given Dimensions D = 75 cubic centimeters

==> Dog\'s Height H = 1016(75) -31.2

==> H = 76200 -31.2

==> H = 76168.8

Hence Shoulder height of dog = 76168.8 centi meters
