Practice Final Exam

Many homes are approximately 27 feet high. Could this squid fly over one and if so how much clearance would it have?

First we need to change feet to meters or meters to feet. Lets change feet to meters.
• m = # of meters in 27 feet ( 1 foot = 0.305 meters)
  m = 27 × .305 = 8.235 meters


• yes the squid could fly over the house.


• c = clearance for the fly over
  c = 30 - 8.235 = 21.765  The squid would be approximately 2.6 house heights above the top of a 27 foot high home.
