Answer

h$\approx$ = 55.7 inches, rounded to the nearest tenth

Work Step by Step

In the question, we are given the weight of the boy, which is w=85 We are given the equation required, which is w=0.00185$h^{2.67}$ Through substitution, we get the following: 85=0.00185$h^{2.67}$ $\frac{85}{0.00185}$=$h^{2.67}$= 45946 h=$\sqrt[2.67] 45946$ h$\approx$ = 55.7 inches
