1.) The femur of an elephant is about 90 cm long and 15 cm in diameter....
1.) The femur of an elephant is about 90 cm long and 15 cm in diameter. This is a scaling problem. The largest dinosaur probably weighed about 10 times as much as a large elephant. In this problem we will be discussing scaling. For reference, areas scale as length squared(A=L^2 for a square and A=3.14*r^2 for a circle) and volume scales as length cubed. To describe the size of a dinosaur's femur compared to that of an elephant's, the dinosaur's...
