Help!!
A person’s maximum running speed s (in meters per second) can be approximated by the function s = pie square root 9.8l/6 where l is the person’s leg length (in meters).

To the nearest tenth of a meter, what is the leg length of a person whose maximum running speed is about 3.4 meters per second?

anonymous · Answer

it's 9.8 (with the letter l after it , not 1)

anonymous · Answer

does s= pi√(    (9.81 X  L /) 6)

anonymous · Answer

like is the 9.8L/6 inside the square root

anonymous · Answer

Yes & yes.

anonymous · Answer

you'll have to substitute s for 3.4 and then solve for L

6.0? 0.o

anonymous · Answer

i actually got something less than 1

anonymous · Answer

I'm pretty clueless on how to do this, lol . Was i supposed to multiply pi by 6? then divide it by 3.4^2?

anonymous · Answer

nope,... I don't know how to word this XD... um.. you'll divide 3.4 by pi and your result from there you square it.  

then multiply that by 6 and divide by 9.8

anonymous · Answer

since the 3.4 and pi are in parenthesis that should be done first.

anonymous · Answer

0.717?
