Question

1.Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae

W = CLPV9.
One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 meters and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed
45 kg with a length of 1.6 meters and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg, with a length of 3.1
meters and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write the equation with the correct coefficient and parameter values. (Express
values to the nearest hundredth).
