The record height of a man to date is 8 feet 11 inches (107 inches). If all men had identical body types, their weights would vary directly as the cube of their heights. Assume that all men do have identical body types. If a man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall (70 inches) weighs 175 pounds, approximately how much would a man with a height of 9 feet (108 inches) weigh? A man with a record height of 9 feet would weigh approximately lbs. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
