Discuss and answer Exercises 94 and 95 as a group.
a. Each group member: Find the ratio of your height to your arm span (fingertips to fingertips) when your arms are extended horizontally outward. You will need help from your group in getting these measurements.
b. If a box were to be drawn about your body with your arms extended would the box be a square or a rectangle? If a rectangle, would the longer length be your arm span or your height measurement? Explain.
c. Compare these results with other members of your group.
d. What one ratio would you use to report the height to arm span for your group as a whole? Explain.
