Early civilization used a cubit as a unit of measure. Acubit is the length from the middle finger to the elbow. Estimate the average height of a man in cubits
A. 6 cubits
B. 4 cubits
C. 2 cubits
D.10 cubits
Here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubit
If we consider the cubit to be about 15 in....then... 4 of them would be about 60 in....and this is about the height of the average man (more or less)
Does that help???
According to Wikipedia......the cubit ranged from about 15 to 20.4 inches in length......if we consider the average man to be about 6 feet tall (60 in).....then 60/15 = about 4 cubits
If a quadrateral has exactly one pair of sides parallel it must be a:
A.trapezoid
B.rhombus
C.parallelogram
D.rectangle
