Exercise 36 Page 401

Determine the difference in height between the player's shoulders and waist.

51 in

Practice makes perfect
To find the height of T, we can start by finding the height difference between the player's shoulders and waist. These heights are 60 inches and 42 inches, respectively. The difference is found by subtraction. 60-42=18 inches

Now, because we know that T is the midpoint between the shoulders and waist, we need to find half of the distance. Half of 18 inches is 9 inches.

Therefore, the height of T is 9 inches above the waist, 42 inches. T= 42+9=51 in
