Chapter 14.7, Problem 5P
According to one description, King Kong was 19 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 38 tons. Typical male gorillas are about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weigh between 300 and 500 pounds. Assuming that King Kong was proportioned like a typical male gorilla, does his given weight of 38 tons agree with what you would expect? Explain.
